42) GI Bride*


       Wolran Kim


 

She sent her young husband to the battlefield

She solves equations of the GI Bill** at daytime

She plays with vibrating adult toys at nighttime

Whenever she hears shooting onTV
Her heart stings, but it doesn’t matter

Noise of bullets like fireworks on Independence Day

Is momentary like pain of human shields or ecstasy of the front line

The play of the war is over, and the title of strategy has changed

From Operation Iraqi Freedom to Operation New Dawn

His plane descended vertically like a rocket of Disneyland

With much faster speed than the eyes of terrorists, of course

Political offenders join in the statistics of casualties eagerly everyday

Declaration of the end of a war by the initiator is always won by a KO

Noncombat troops still enjoy computer games

War trophies move from online to offline skillfully

Excessive secret codes are for the maintenance of security

The Middle East is always warlike

Her husband speaks like a robot in the webcam because his phone is confiscated

Where did you hide your extra paychecks from the war, baby?

Did you forget that we will go on a space trip later, honey?

Oh my, I better think about the choice of the moon or the stars, sweetie!

Abnormality of peace is accustomed in her vagina or on the land of oil

As long as her sphincter never stops contracting

As long as the oil is never dyed red, the earth is a paradise

Vibrating resistance already speaks love fluently

When waves of the pendulum spread out, eatingthe wait

On her right arm holding a toy, her owl tattoo

Beaten, is laughing loudly
