Cheer me on, Oblivia
as I wind up from the knees
to rend from Earth this nemesis
of everlasting peace
Aiming at the nose bridge
of the Grand Chaos Machine
bracing with the groundswell
fully charged, I launch again
Swing that arm around now
Come on David, let her fly
Holding up your left hand
as a shield against the sky
watch that middle finger
you must use it as a guide
Clean your stones; less friction
Count, release and it is done
Lead, my faithful vanguard
Gather, kindred, go that way
On your trusting footprints
shines the mighty light of day
Come on, children, walk this way…

Note: I wrote this poem at the end of March and hid it, thinking I would never need to publish it. Clearly, I was kidding myself. Tammy, and Jeanne, this poem might be all I can do.
