the Sunday flip of the coin

it was a tough
decision
trying to figure out where to spend
our Sunday in
the city
with the family.
to put a blanket down
and have
a picnic.
should we go to the parade,
where soldiers
are marching,
where
bands are playing,
where the history of our
country is on
display?
the night sky
full of patriotic fireworks?
or should we go to the protest
on the other
side of the fence,
with fires burning,
rocks and
Molotov cocktails
being thrown.
flags on fire, with
men in dresses, and megaphones
cursing in our ears.
