The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner
by Randall Jarrell
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Good picture of this. Man, I bet your knees ached just taking it. Either from the idea of being wrapped around your ears to fit inside or from the squatting to get the angle. Or both.
