Wake Up and Salute the Flag











I'm as patriotic as the next guy
but we're turning into
Absurdistan



It happened as I slept
I opened the blind
and there it was



Vast flag hung on
a hook and ladder truck
honoring fallen fire-fighters


 
There were a hundred or so
firemen in uniform,
It's been a gruesome six months
two unsafe living spaces burned
 record-breaking fatalities






The Flaneur
in his precarious lodgings
salutes our fireman
