we risk leaving our minders to
walk round the town 
passing through narrow alleys 
scenes of minefields, looking for 
signs of chemical weapons and dead bodies

trekking across hostile terrain
looking for the Taliban 
hes in trouble again after disappearing 
from the radar across the border 

tracking tensions
that heighten by the hour 
what with the no fly zone and military strikes
whisking into the deserted centre 
there are plenty of tanks and armoured cars
we pull all the strings and pass
through makeshift camp, thronged with tents

there are barely any 
guests just a skeleton service
spooks monitor everything
there is no phone service 
and no internet ... 

we are edgy and wired 
and its catching
