Injunctions

I was sitting in a room full of people

Everyone faced front, listening to the Man

Hearing his words, mesmerized by the tone

When I felt the room waver before me

My feet felt the floor swaying under me

I looked around the room but everyone

Was still intent on the speaker and no one

Seemed to have felt the earthquake as I did

This morning I woke up, coughed, and saw silver

Sparks in the air in front of my face

Little bits of airborne lint, silver, not truly

There though I watched them pop here and there,

For ten seconds at a time before they disappeared

Dramatic lines are drawn on the cavern walls

Ancient images of massive animals and the

Loved ones of the hunters, hunted all the same

The Man spoke volumes about his experience

Facinating stories about battles and conferences

Brave warriors fighting with financial instruments

Facing off with great legal minds protecting the

Flanks, enjoining the enemy stratagems

Gray suits may have replaced animal skins now

Computers and Mont Blanc replacing flints and lances

I don’t care, they’re all the same to me

No one else felt the Earth shake and I did
