Every few hundred years
it comes along.
Someone carries a window
without knowing.
Some can see
thru this window
and are amazed and renewed
breathing air
that has never been inhaled
seeing with a new sun...
When the window carrier
shows up in your neighborhood
tell the mob
there will be
no barbecue today.
Give them the book to burn...
yesterday’s news is a threat.
(If yesterday is a danger
what will they think of tomorrow...)
Soon enough the window will be broken
the new book written and burned
and some one will carry
the new glass in turn.
