We surround the plutonium core
From 32 points spaced equally around the surface
The 32 points are the centres of the
20 Triangular faces of an icosahedron
Interwoven with the 12 pentagonal faces of a dodecahedron
We squeeze the sphere with the atoms closer
Until the subcritical atoms grow supercritical
We stab the stable nucleus
