the thrill is gone

three
days later, someone,
nearby
is still setting off fireworks
in the middle of the night.
the last
i'm sure
of a pile they hauled up
from north
Carolina
in the trunk of their car.
the patriotism that they
show
is admirable.
scholars,
i'm sure of the declaration
of independence
and constitution.
but i need some sleep,
the thrill is gone.
