the firetrucks arrive

finally,

after weeks of blocking

the roads

and causing

chaos,

the firetrucks arrive

and wash

the protesters

off the streets, the hard

blasts

of water

quickly washes them

away

into the gutters.

they throw the crazies

bars

of soap

and water wings

to hold onto

as they wash them out

to the river

all the way

to the sea.

you can almost hear

their

protests as they

gurgle

the salt water, drifting

past

the statue of liberty
