Thanksgiving In Gaza
They probably give thanks for premature babies
laid out in batches of twelve or fifteen
that make the front page in the USA,
thinking: Go premies! And show the world
how you fare in your little green diapers!
Or were they blue?
The staff looking after them certainly is,
the whole place shot to pieces.
What they must give thanks for in Gaza
is the revelation and emphasis of
the state of things as they are.
