  • Orcas in the Afternoon

    Orcas in the Afternoon

    We've been around since dawn 
    And our day is yet long 
    We were lucky 
    To have Orcas 
    In the afternoon
    Before our huts
    Of fire, steel, and stone
    This Earth strode alone
    Palaces
    Of light, blood, and bone
    Ever changing, yet ever same
    Characters with shared masks
    But a different name
    At the tips of pyramids,
    The giants dance.
    Even as we steal the bricks,
    For a second
    Of prosperity's glance
    Our murderers are microscopic,
    They train their harpoon.
    We were lucky
    To have Orcas
    In the afternoon
