CHANT OF THE CICADAS
Folder:
MEANDERTHAL MAN
All the hype;
TV news; avant cuisine
overlooking the issues.
Yet I never heard
cicadas sing
til a grass field

when fireworks
voiced Independence Day

permeated the air.
The chant
suddenly sounded
like an alarm
if only for a few hours.

The echo of their song still
The echo of their song still resounds in my mind.
