After the fall, a poem

After the fall
By Mike Marcellino

In a time of universal deceit –
telling the truth is a revolutionary act. - George Orwell

Stolen quotes,
Stolen hours.
Together,
Day and night
Frozen by time
After the Fall.

A knight cold
In amour,
Drinking
Irish whiskey
Riding
After a girl of Twenty
Who goes her way
In a vegan powered bus from Omaha to Austin.

Stolen quotes,
Stolen hours.
Together,
Day and night
Frozen by time
After the Fall.

Anarchists hidden
In castles of fog,
on grey naked fields,
Midi-Pyrénées
Of the Counts of Toulouse
After the Fall.
