In neither of the wars
was this place touched
nor did any bomb
made it
it's destiny

nor did a comet
ever hit the place

nor was the power
of a nuclear weapon
tested here ever

nor did they dig
the reminants
of an old civilisation
from this land

nor did any spaceship
decide to land itself here

yet this depression
on it's chest
like a mark
of a past pimple
on a cheek

this exact rectangle
crater on earth
is a mystery
not until the old gaurd says
"they proposed to build
a swimming pool here
twelve years ago"
