Nuclear Leak Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Nuclear Leak



Tokyo Electric
Fukushima spill ku cue
acatalectic

Earthquake and flooding
nuclear core in melt-down
toxic muddying.

One station's see_page
power grid widow window
many mens' weep_age.

Radiation peak
countered by helplessness, pique,
and bluff double-speak.

Caesium sepsis.
SBO emergency
sham[e] epilepsis.

Fauna and flora
immediate casualties
of ticking time-bomb.

Philosophical
fall out of bounds, boundaries
hurry can leap-frog

eye so topical
currents hemispherical
icy, tropical,

leucemic blood cell
round the bend and pole to pole
mutations pell-mell

ionized rainfall
cannot distinguish between
rich and poor painful

combat quixotic,
careless then hairless drop outs
cause idiotic  

Access restrictive,
fictive disinformation
vasoconstrictive.

Radioactive
cement seals sentimental
half-lives contractive

Congenital flaws,
degenerative dermal
cancellation clause.
