Can’t Cry
Argentina, I cannot cry for you when
all you had to do to obtain the Falklands
was to show a map with nine dashes bounding
all the South Atlantic that’s off your coastline,
then build up islands
out of dredged-up sea-bottom mud and tofu.
After all that game works for China or at
least in China’s person-cult dreams of glory
when enforced by legions of fishing trawlers
and of course, nukes.
