Exploring The Artistic Landscape, With Neutron Bombs

by Tom Goss

Is there a
more disturbing human euphemism than
enhanced radiation?

The ionizing burst
at the moment of
detonation,
the spectacle
of high energy
electrons let viciously loose
from the fusion reaction
provides a lesson in
the amorality of technology
and the evolutionary genius
of destruction.

The earth is suicidal,
destroying itself
one human child 98.8% chimpanzee
at a time.

aaaaah. the conflict of man/nature vs. man/science. I enjoy this. Tis a conflict as old as man discovering the wheel leads to the first hit and run incident
