The people's arts
August 24, 2018
The people are singing
And I can hear it
In the streets,
All the feet are dancing
Of the people who are singing
And I can feel the vibration
Of their beautiful steps
All around me people are acting
And I can see it
The twitch where they want to laugh
But don’t because it’s rude
And the pretty, misleading smile
When asked if you’re okay.
