In Hard Times

“Hard times require furious dancing” - Alice Walker

If
fury freezes
to chilling
meanness,
it ices the knees
from genuflecting,
from reflecting.

For
how does personhood (of a place
like the united of states)
return to its embryo,
to be doctored
into the falseness
of itself?    

A
false god
stiffening the fabric
of society, wearing us out.

Better
for peopled limbs
to exhaust into dancing.

We,
thereby, will not mean
anything.

Humbled
to exhume a new creed
of wonderment.
