Again not the post I was planning, but...

American Football,
(a reflection upon the Gulf War)

Hallelujah!
It works.
We blew the shit out of them

We blew the shit right back up their
own ass

It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
They suffocated in their own shit!

Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord for all good things.

We blew them into fucking shit.
They are eating it.

Praise the Lord for all good things.

We blew their balls into shards of dust,
Into shards of fucking dust.

We did it

Now I want you to come over here and
kiss me on the mouth.

Harold Pinter
August 1991
