in the pantheon
of our excursions
we were holding on
to our own preferred version
we stood at the podiums
in front of the curtain
before it was drawn apart
laid bare for public witness
and we shook each others' hands at the curbside
and we shook or nodded heads and scowled or smiled
and we scheduled a time
to agree on a time
we can all agree in due time
we can all agree to decide
who will be the one to resign
from the office
of self-appointed interest
where can we go to beg
and barter for forgiveness
or can we continue
to go about our business
and pay no mind
as we look at what we've scrambled to acquire
can it hold a candle to an open fire
can it tolerate the time
that remains on the dial
and stay refrigerated on ice
and hibernate away in exile
and be exonerated from trial
in the pantheon
of our excursions
we were holding on to our own preferred version
we stood at the podiums
in front of the curtain
before it was drawn for our
constituents to witness
