15. COMPLAINT

COMPLAINT
This swan dive, gentlemen, will be the last.
Between us, these sorts of theatrics are over.
-
'You have never given us a chance, never
listened to our words nor even let us
speak. You enter the forum as if you're
in charge. The crowd cheers, yes,
but they would cheer for anyone.'
-
...It's always like this : at the 12th St. Bookstore,
the 2nd Ave. Deli, McSorley's or even at
The White Horse. Everywhere, 
people are lined up for a sighting.
-
I often chuckle to myself.
Your hammer is held high,
above your head; like something
to be feared, something about to strike.
