The waters are rising
Elders sitting in wheelchairs neck deep in water
Waiting
And our own home-grown Himmler
Pardoned
And our most gifted two-spirit people
Kicked out.
The forces of evil are abroad in our land.
How did this happen?
Meanwhile in San Francisco
Clowns and artists and doctors and teachers
Danced
Transpeople and cis and gay and straight people
Laughed
Parents and children and friends and relations
Sang
And the forces of evil departed from there.
How did this happen?
You know. You know what to do now.
Listen with all your being.
Then when Life calls to you
Answer YES
and start moving.
