The Beauty of the Language of the Missile

-Adam van Graan

 

If a gun is whose end.

If carrying a gun is carrying an end.

Whose hands hold the most ends, the most houses with the most ends

Probably are somewhere in America, we know this, everybody is talking about it.

I mean the news delivers it to us as if on a missile,

But sometimes the missile is the news,

Sometimes the news explodes and kills 100 people.

That is the beauty of the language of the missile: everybody can read a dead body.

And after, everybody starts to talk in dead bodies.

That is the beauty of the war: it is so, so easy to translate
