Dissect the Dialect

living through major historical events,

that’ll soon fill textbooks in classroom desks.

future generations will learn about the pandemic,

with pictures of caution taped jungle-gyms and lone playground equipment.

read all about the protests that resulted in wreck and distress,

watching how the media coverage recorded how we split.

feel the tension rise along with the fear,

examining how 45 took it in the ear.

assuming that it would bring a divided sum together as one,

like when 40 got shot in 81.

trying to level the teeter,

with political theatre.
