1774

5.312

8.xi.24

in this our here and now

 

to be woke

 

from the make believe

from the usual

 

my pride wide eyes

and all the world let in

 

to stop pretending

 

heart raising from the dark

 

events overtake

 

like to say never too late but

 

see everywhere the sleepers

 

ask yourself what will it take

 

sudden as the sun we’ll be

 

to act

once we are woke
