anyone wanna buy a flag?

anyone wanna buy a flag?
today i do not care about pants.
remember this morning gram.
remember how you teared up when you saw the people marching and the riot cops rounding them up in barricades with those plastic tie things around their wrists. the streets were blocked and you stood in the very middle, confounded at the spectacle.
remember when you saw all the other levi's folks walking to work like nothing was happening.
and you walked across that plaza and began to cry and told yourself that you have to stop being a part of the problem and find a solution. that you will not be in the same career by the time your next birthday comes around.
and you saw a girl from work that you see every day but never talk to crying @ the corner and you stopped and stood with her and talked about how sad we were and how dumb going to work seemed but how it wouldn't do us any good not to go.
and most people walked to work with smiles on their faces.
so you hugged her and walked to work anyway with tears in your eyes.
i am waking up.
