Equinox by Lorenzo Thomas

"If this is solace,
   These men standing
up against the wall
These are the guardians
Of future pathways –"


"Talking together as gray-haired men
   with the guy
You looked up at the stars with
When you were boys


And wondering if there's a God
   a girl, a goal
A meaning to the universe
& knowing now
   you really do not know much more
Than you did back then,"


"A boy's job

To listen to the old men's lies
And learn the music . . ."
