a crack in the window
smells like gasoline - but the park
is sunny, rain and dark weather long gone
thus the wariness appears. gone.
a spark, in other places, a spark of love,
is fire, a good kind
and this time it was a bomb,
smacks you right in the face
and then
comes the blames, why didn't anyone
raise the flag?
and people did,
it was simply sunshine, and cool weather,
sure sure.
now the night is fresh, filled with
excitement, the cup fills over
but no one is getting that surplus.
you see -
the pendulum has swung once again
too far out
and the bemoans, the scandals
labeled
come across as stirring waves
it is not a nice thing
to do on this clear night sky.
tight lipped,
offering only the most humble
of smiles. you're right of course.
because too much fracture,
the boat sinks,
no one needs to be reminded
of what happened the last time
round. and no one
is ready for what is now going
be the next tsunami.
the devil changes faces,
and today
we're still playing yesterday's
wars.
