6240. AND THEN THE MIDWIFE

AND THEN THE MIDWIFE
Smacked me awake! And what was
I to make of that  -  no one had said;
it had never been mentioned. Adrift
on a field of hot coals and paid cheaters.
Someone I never knew had just turned
on the lights. The room seemed so large.
-
Human central, here I was! Brought out 
again for the lions to tame. A roaring crowd,
I knew already, that quickly, was waiting...
for me, for something, to act. A brand-new
rainbow awaited my eyes, before the next
dawn even broke. Rain and sunlight, the
pillage and the wealth, together again.
