“You can’t evict an idea whose time has come.”
-OWS protestors
You can’t evict
An idea whose time has come
I can’t go back to believing
We should never expect
Goodness for its own sake
Goodness without a price tag.
I can’t go back to believing
The highest virtue is
Not making a fuss
Not causing trouble
Moving along with the flow of traffic
In no one’s way . . .
Moving from my own truth
May be messy
May be terrifying
But is exhilarating enough that, no
I won’t go back into my box.
