Situation Report
by Chris Sorrenti
It’s like that scene near the end
of the first Star Wars movie
Luke Skywalker in his X-wing fighter
racing just ahead of the flames
from an explosion of his own doing
in an attempt to vanquish the Death Star
and though we know the final outcome
in your case it’s sometimes hard to tell
whether the flames have overtaken you
