Onslaught at the Louvre: July 22:1400 Hours
how they charge you
marching in regiments
each standard bearer
flag furled aloft
Japanese/German/American
troops mass in behind
approach target from all angles
anticipation warms the air
breaths quicken
your enigmatic smile in their sights now
capture imminent
from all fronts: surrounded
cameras shoot
flash/flash/flash/flash/flash/flash
conquest complete
