Curtains blowing out beyond the newly
Opened frame,
Billowing swifter than a military ideal
Without restraint,
Instantly recognized and turned away
Before their touching
And issued orders to restore themselves
To where they used to be.
Venerable beads of sweat well spilt
To seal their service
Drawn forth from furrowed brows upraised,
Belonging to reservists,
Conscripted by quick opportunists in slow
Administrations
In place of those professionals on
Overseas vacations.
Applied lightly over carpets cut from
Ancient Persian rugs,
Which have been thrown around the room
Instead of psychedelic drugs,
And used primarily to keep the window
Cleaners from appealing
For a cask of clear water to stop
Smeared windows from concealing.
