Ever read Randall Jarrell’s poem “Death of the Ball Turrett Gunner?”
damn hour and a half late
quote:
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
damn hour and a half late
