the situation

is tense. non-compliance

will henceforth mean

war. yes!			You back here!

WAR.				you three letter word

bright banners soon cry		of films and museums and magical swords

all peace loving people		you say to your friend

unite				let's meet soon again

too late dude this phrase	   when all has been done

has been ambushed last night	     with drones and new guns

on TV				in Paris on Champs Elysees

				why eerie? you smile

				all

				IS

	all close the ranks	right.

	all talk the fight	All.

	all gather those ribboned blackyellow bands

	and pray for our soldiers

	in forsaken lands

	all minds slowly downed by virus might

	just three letters long. just three.

	marchons	enfants enfants

			soon motherboards will overheat and over-

			write the memories

			all letters jumbled

			raw

at flickering fog's blunt cutting edge

				the fever curse

	the scream

			it's BACK
