I counted those dragons that knew her name
how they were jade lovely like soft stone
the covers of an ocean pulled up to chins
and mockingbird eyes that spoke no words

they poured sand into their shoes to be taller
but they were sandals of temporary smoke
the winds they stirred were their pretending
as if dancing around on it made it concrete

I have been down to the muddy store before
never bought any of the broken things there
but recognized some of them by their bandages
and others by the worn places on their handles

when they were used by bobble heads as lions

James and Mar, thanks guys...just a tribute to the degradation of America by some..our lady Liberty is being ravished and we have a monkey leader that is selling her by the pound to pay for his ego expansion.

Sometimes rants are screamed... sometimes they are whispered - and are all the more powerful because you have to lean close to hear. This is fantastic... and will be long remembered. *S*
