Bui Doi
Those poor children--
roaming rotten
streets and
rice paddies in
what's left of
Saigon
conceived in vain
while bomb clusters
darkened the sky:
BOOM!
death, death to
Hanoi!
crying tears of
livid American fathers
terrified Vietnamese mothers
abandoned
abandoned
bathing in dirt beneath
two tattered flags and
the relentless red sun
abandoned
abandoned
this might sound weird, but.....
