open window
a cold breeze
a dusty box and a poem in a book
50 years his ashes blown by the winds
who remembers norman morrison?
the children who write with chalk
on the sidewalks
don't
nor the ******
who walk 42nd street in the rain
manamarra and westmoreland
he s not
one of their nightmares
any longer and
jerry rubin has too much on his mind:
college speaking dates
stocks and bonds
his shadow
long scrubbed from
the steps of the pentagon
norman kissed his wife and daughter
good bye
doused himself with gasoline
and set himself on fire
on the steps of the pentagon
he cried out in pain
like a mother screams
giving birth
like a baby cries being born and
when the sun rises
all the flowers
of the field
weep
who remembers?
