PROLOGUE

The first time regime-ists detain you
on the fringes of the accidental skirmish
mortars flop down on bazaars in Tripoli;

Accountants man machine-gun pick ups in Brega
and Adjabiya is like some stratus of gun-brunt powder.

Fools have rigged minivans with anti-aircraft missiles,
and the conscripts keep prostrating on the skirmishfield
or firing wildly in the air without having secured
a victory in ink, courtesy of the play-by-play machine.

All those indivisible bolts we've been peddling
assembled on the blanche Sahara tableau,
poised against the indignant citizens.
