safety in numbers

you see
a string of children
tied
together at the waist
in the city.
a teacher
in front, a teacher
in back.
a small herd
of human cattle
stretching
along the sidewalk
in their
bright clothes
and hats.
how safe they
are, for now.
how safe we all would
be if
strung along
like that.
