Can anyone interpret poems? I've tried, but I only understand the last two lines, and not even that well!!!!!!
If so..what does this mean?
It's called "Buying Rations in Kabul"
"The Uzbek boys on Chicken Street
have never had enough to eat.
They stock from shelf to shining shelf
these G.I. meals, which boil themselves
in added water (bottled, please).
In twenty minutes, processed cheese
on jambalaya, followed by
a peanut-butter jamboree.
The boys, polite,
advise on which we might prefer---
beef teriyaki, turkey blight---
and thank us twice for bringing peace
as, meals in hand, we leave teh store.
Of course they know that any peace
that must be kept by force
contains another name. It's war."
It sounds to me like the Uzbek boys are selling MRE's which are meals-ready-to-eat or some sort of rations to G.I's in Kabul.
Chicken street is in Kabul, Afghanastan where they have many shops and sell food.
For the MRE's you just add water to the heater and insert the meal into the heater and wait for it to heat up the food. They usually come with a main meal, crackers, pb or cheese.
