Like blaster s h o t s
on a near
miss with a light
side
lightsaber wielder,
the concentrated energy wall
is a mirror
of the distinct tinted visor
and impeccable white of
a stormtrooper’s armor,
where the entry burns
glow orange for the camera
and the trooper has to get
a new suit of armor if they survive…
The stormtrooper barges into the
Cantina always when something
good is happening, scaring the
crowds silly, blasting red
lasers that fly around the room
to return
like a knight valorously
who falls to please
the Sith Lord
by clanging
down in a pile;
the armor
ringing
at the traumatic
thump
followed by the
tub thumps
in the bathtub as the
trooper recovers
therapeutically.
