“Spy Balloons — A Poem”
by Winston Smith
As a man known for his verbosity, an argument for the defence:
“Spy balloons. Spy balloons. High in the sky
We can all see where, and we all wonder why
Spy balloons! Spy balloons! Don’t watch me
Please watch the devils, the blind cannot see”
“Spy Balloons”
A poem
