how well you cover darkness!
no one would suspect, almost,
that no hearts changed with dawn
armies still slink toward the city
politicians guiltily survey the gates
husbands creep home
fathers leave daughters
and cowards wake from dreams
of what they'd do if only...
daylight strengthens into brightness
and we are surprised again
by murder, rape, fraud, and muggings
and tell each other once again
about the good old days
