A Live Hand Grenade Under The Sofa For 15 Years Poem by Saul McCandless

A Live Hand Grenade Under The Sofa For 15 Years



Noel was meant to dispose of them
He must not have, as usual

And to senility, I bow my head
Victor over youth and vigor

In a silk pouch, what death lay for children
And nightmares of tiny white coffins

What a jest we had in the end though
Abominable escapades, an ace of spades

The smell of napalm halitosis
And yellow fingertips for all others.
