THE NEW REPUBLIC


a conspiracy against time
to silence what is new

a letter to sign and pass on

the face of the chairman
wrinkles its concern

can we be found out
is there somewhere where
all the records are kept

time will not let us say
time has run out
of patience time
was when all things

were new and the crisp
dew reflected the sun
for the first time

and we gathered naked
to try our new language

and swore each other
to keep trying
