Breakthrough |
The visitors find the children gone from school: |
aged relations sling their guns across the desks… |
there’ll be no break-time for them unless |
they talk about tomorrow |
as though it’s already on its way. |
Amen, oh yes, they’re |
waiting for the breakthroug |
h in time. |
The visitors hide no aces up their sleeves |
and the classroom pulses to many different drums. |
If only a breakthrough in time would come |
there’d be some chance for the visited ones. |
We could talk about tomorrow |
as though we believed in that. |
e could talk about it right now, |
and it would come as a shock |
to feel the fingernail grow on the trigger finger — |
still the visitors clock us waiting for the breakthrough, |
waiting for the breakthrough |
with time on our hands. |
