We live on WeaponWorld. Why not PeaceWorld? How would that work? What should we expect? Has that transition been discussed to your satisfaction, or has that discussion been suppressed? I'm slopping a ladle of PeaceWorld soup on your WeaponWorld zinc food tray. Next!
Nous habitons la terre en armes. Pourquoi pas au monde paisible ? Comment ça marcherait ? Cette transition t'a-t-elle été discutée de façon satisfaisante ou supprimée ? Je te verse une louchée de soupe du monde paisible sur ton zinc de nourriture fourni par la terre en armes. Au suivant !

World Peace, Jobless Washer Woman
WORLD WAR COVID
Poems, mine and theirs
World Peace, Jobless Washer Woman
World Peace is a laundress
With many hungry little bastards back home.
She will take in our dirty laundry
Bleach it sparkling white, raise its colors
As long as we hold her contract faithfully.
The only dirty laundry left lying around
Will belong to those who refuse her,
Who risk falling by the wayside, pest-stricken
Compared to her clients enchanted by her sweet honesty.
Say no and the house will stink,
Ugly to the eye, shunned by others;
And projects will fail,
And dreams become nightmares,
Whatever you do.
Pay the pennies she asks for,
And the household will sparkle from her healing touch:
Your children, by good sleep refreshed,
Your servants, proud of their new livery,
Will be glad to serve.
