Nuclear Leak - March 1992 Current Version
Cloud grey, faces red.
St. Petersburg incident:
Chernobyl ahead.
One station's see_page
power grid widow window
many mens' weep_age.
Radiation peak
countered by helplessness, pique,
and bluff double-speak.
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
does not distinguish between
rich and poor painful
combat quixotic,
careless then hairless dropp outs
cause idiotic
Access restrictive,
fictive disinformation
vasoconstrictive.
Radioa ctive
cement seals sentimental
half-lives contractive.
Congenital flaws,
degenerative dermal
cancelllation clause.
Initial version first verse only
