chase
Staff should clock
in on arrival
The night shift were clocking

crinkled ones

Not to give opponents cause to
besmirch the movement or the police an excuse to use force
Blanket

their small bags
We sat ruminating
the nature of existence
Heretics were
burned if they would not recant
Galileo was forced to
recant his assertion that the earth orbited the sun
To house
supplies in heap
The sprawling
encampment in Almiralty
As the clear-out

To take it in your
stride
Easy on the
ear
Easy on the
eye
