WEEP THE PEOPLE
(Too Too Red Novembers)
Our Fifty Thanksgivings
enfold
Two Kennedys

and a steeple.
and a steeple.
Our Five Decades of Novembers

stained schools,
stained books,
Kents and Sandy Hooks,

Our Half Century of passing time
has sold
has sold
memory
for storyteller's gold;
Trousers are now rolled
and
history
eats its old,
eats its old,
once
weepers.
weepers.
