Some people wake up on Monday mornings
|
barring maelstroms and red flare warnings
|
with no explosions and no surprises
|
perform a series of exercises
|
|
hold your fire
|
take your place around an open fire
|
|
before your neurons declare a crisis
|
before your trace Serotonin rises
|
before you're reading your coffee grounds
|
and before a pundit can make a sound
|
and before you're reading your list of vices
|
perform the simplest exercises
|
|
so here at the end
|
the war is over
|
there's nothing left to defend
|
no cliffs of Dover
|
so let us put down our pens
|
and this concludes our test
|
our minds are scattered about
|
from hell to breakfast
|
|
hold your fire
|
take your place around an open fire
|
don't open fire
|
