- Show up to the protest, but put away your sign.
- Shuffle to the shadows, perhaps another time.
- Mouth closed with a zipper, your hands behind your back.
- Step in line with others, responding to the crack.
- Spirit—eager, willing—is anchored to the floor.
- Heart so filled with justice is tucked into a drawer.
- Marching to the music, in place, but knees up high.
- Stuck in your small prison; your children walk on by.
