The Brass

'American generals love napalm…'
they love Daisy Cutter and Willy Pete
they love to shake and bake
it's like slapstick to them
they're hot for effective kill radius
they'll put a 9/11 in your mucous membranes and love it
they'll flame-splash you into multiple metabolic disturbance
they'll crown your blood mass with phosphorescent puke

then sit back and say

it's not a great way to die
