15,549. SMITH HOLLOW

SMITH HOLLOW
Rather like a reluctant lancer
here, the military man with the 
minuet-face is staring out across
the field.  Gendarme-eyes in a
lockstep with violent intent.
-
Should a threat or terror loom,
he knows what he must do: the
problem is detained by logic,
in its proper earthly shell. How
far does one go willingly into
the deep, dark nights of doubt?
-
If that is a private plane, then,
approaching, does that plane have
rights with precedence? Those who
are inside it, must they too die?
Circumstance makes accidents
of everything, while a bomb
laced conveyance deigns to
fly overhead?
