They shouldn’t have done that,
tear him out of graduate school
as recklessly as people rip a page
from a telephone book
They set his brain on automatic:
here is how you place the barrel of a 38
behind the ear of a village chief while he sleeps,
here is how to come from behind with a garrote
Lyndon Johnson died peacefully during a nap
MacNamara wrote a book
The assassin was discharged
into the rest of his life
