Wednesday Morning 9/21/05 "See You At The Pole"

The 7 a.m. bell rings at St. Mary's (the town church)

No people gathered at the flagpole to pry

No flag to commemorate this day

As one girl sits

Haunted by the image of this empty flagpole, praying to God above

That she's tired of blending.

And she's tired of merging in…

Can this butterfly cause a hurricane?
