The high concept here is that reading poetry makes you float away. For that reason, the army high command is especially against letting its soldiers read poetry, to the point where they execute violators. It’s a decent premise, but not a great story. I did like the fifth panel, where the group of soldiers are having their picture taken while they stand on the floating corpse. That felt very authentic.
