They say,
nuclear politics,
like drool from a rabid dog,
is safe when kept at bay;
They say,
reinforced concrete
and chains of command
isolate the mindless rage;
They say,
they won’t be the first
to lift the latch
set the gears to grind and lurch;
and They say,
even if suddenly it leaps unleashed,
the dripping jaws will viciously clamp
on all bare flesh no less
