The satisfied are always chewing something;
\nlike eternal daybreak their smiles remain constant.
\nThey think they travelled far to get here. In fact,
\nit was two or three steps. Their definitions
\nsurround them like a kennel contains a hound.
\nLet\u2019s say you rattle their gate. Let\u2019s say you became
\na flea nibbling the delicate skin of their belief.
\nOne eye rolls up, a raised lip reveals a tooth.<\/p>\n
Like a thrown stone imagining it will not fall
\ntheir explanations work to keep the world fixed.
\nAnd here you\u2019ve come with your trumpet. Did you
\nthink they would like your music? Your accusers
\nare blameless. They press their paws to their soft ears.
\nWhy share their kennel if you won\u2019t let them sleep?<\/p>\n
