57. Independence Day

I’m hearing something to
the effect of gunshots and steel
on a canvas of
humanity shouting-demanding-screaming.

I can hear words like
“liberty” and “freedom”
and no one even has to say
“revolution”

and I’m feeling it along
with them only in a way
one could call
“retroactive”

because you know that’s what they fought for
and we’re the thing they’d
keep fighting for if they weren’t

just voices in a history book.
