ships over the horizon
speeding with silence
men approaching in boats
planes dropping violence
televisions blaring
internet staring
teenagers fucking downstairs
taking the cash
buying the food
errands running out there
check the id
check the back seat
police keeping the peace
bombs falling
rounds sent downrange
everyone looks up
cars started
doors opened
people rush to the base
explosions
shells landing
neighborhoods
being destroyed
the sun rises
ships sailed away
fires still burning
no life in the area
the government being notified
everything is starting again
