Terra firma is just a dream

Separate the tinsel from the branches
and grow your limbs to carry water.

Borrow silence for a stolen moment
and plow the field to manage the chatter.

Endure missed footsteps and songs
while others lie prostrate in mortar.

Ask yourself, slowly, if emblems en masse
can restore a nation's imperfect flavor.

Action, furtive and stone-faced, endows
a great passel a future brighter and grander.
