<P>and if there will be <BR>only one poem <BR>focussing on peace <BR>sung by a

explosives,<BR>cut by the arc of a missile.<BR>There's no place far enough<BR>to
put my heart at ease.<BR><BR>Can I buy another chance?<BR><BR>I want to refuse
to take sides.<BR>I want to imagine a world<BR>more spacious and more
intimate.<BR>I want the courage to buy<BR>homes and meals and
schoolbooks<BR>instead of guns and tanks.<BR><BR>I want to be peace, wild and
fierce and sweet.<BR><BR></P>
