Northern Ireland because
they were threatened by thugs.
But few could flee
the ghoulish glee
with which English, American
and French reporters -
for their various strategic
and dishonourable reasons -
made it seem a worse place
than Corsica, Honduras, Algeria,
Afghanistan, et cetera.
And it was easier to get to,
required much less gear
than the genocidal conflicts of eastern Zaïre.
