It was 60 years ago today
radio said: peace everywhere , put away your fear
not so long ago
another peace got put away
with marbles and comics from another day
with marbles and comics from another day
the peace they promised yesterday
was more like a ghost
a dreamy song
a freak on the street
who just turned away , just looked the other way
opaque and oblique
a nincompoop in an endless loop
strangled like a promise
tossed like a marble in a puddle
choking like a bubble
twisting like a top
in another time peace was free like breathing air
nobody was fighting for breathing air
the answer there is a question here
how can ~love be peace~
when peace is a shadow from an old dark comic
spinning off like a comet through a dark glassy puddle ?
