Day Five 13:17 PM

Calm?

         How?

 

and, maybe more importantly, why?

 

Voices raised

the accusation remains

that it wouldn’t add up

that we shouldn’t complain

that all had been done

that all could have been

the sad little faces

of women and men

in blue and white

with little name tags

lifting up the shades

just like they were flags

asking earnest questions

while deftly deflecting

any attempt of direct

understanding

 

and then

I disappeared
