Answer: The poem talks about how schoolchildren went through atomic bomb drills during the Cold War.
Explanation: At the beggining, when the character describes his kindergarten school hallway, he shows how the children were lead when there was an atomic bomb drill alert, specially when he mentions the position in which they had to stay ("[...] pressing our heads/between our knees, waiting.") Then, he describes a classmate, Annette, that was probably killed during one of the drills when he says "Why Annette? There's nothing/to be upset about - ", and reflects on what is going to happen because of the war. He realizes that the most dangerous things aren't the bombs, but the war itself, if it keeps going on and on, as he shows in "it is the days, the steady/pounding of days, like gentle rain,/ that will be our undoing."
