Baton down the hatches
And batten down the protesters
Attempting to skillfully replace ammunition
Throwing garnets and pearls
Into the blaspheme
The busses don’t run on the weekends
The clanging doesn’t stop,
Roaring wonderfully asunder
The changing mind of sadness driven
As a wake up call into the dark-place
With the shadows and shapes
Threaded and turned on the silken cylinder
now showing where it grows thin
branching out to root in the wind
Coming and going in all its glorious simultaneity
