A man with a wooden leg
Sits down to read a book. The book is not about men,
Or wooden legs,
Or sitting down. Not all books are. Some books are about women,
Fleshy legs,
Or gymnastics. But not all books are.
This one isn’t. This book is about rocket science.
It has big friendly writing
And lots of pictures. And there is an interactive section. You can pretend
That you are an American,
And you can shoot
Laser-guided rockets
At unprotected
Third World civilians,
In the war on terror.
