I had really gone back in time here, very far back.
I think I'll sort of come back to the present
and see what happens.
News Conference.
As the President smiles for the TV,
the body of an American soldier is lying
clenched between his teeth.
He opens his mouth to speak and the body vanishes down
the President's throat.
Small, persistent noises rise from his stomach.
The sound of metal striking on metal.
Cartridge belt on canister.
These sounds begin to diminish.
And it becomes clear that everything is being digested.
Belt, bullets, boots, and all.
