Incoming

here we are
a thousand miles apart
launching missiles
one at a time
fire!
wait for the explosion on the other end
hunker down
cuz one is coming back atcha
in the future...
perhaps some diplomacy?
next time
let's pick up the hot line
and say "my finger is on the button..."
"convince me not to shoot"
