Unwrapped choc ice

A middle-aged man
With an unwrapped choc ice
Stands beside the River Thames
In London.

The man looks at the choc ice
With a strange light in his eyes.

Rush hour passers-by
Fail to notice
That embedded in the choc ice
Is a microminiaturised
Laser-beam weapon.

Two days later,
His wife discovers his body
On the Hackney marshes.

The body is still alive.

It is birdwatching with its secretary.
