of people on the corner, sitting
down
on the sidewalk
with their signs and megaphones.
crying.
weeping, sobbing.
holding each other, as if
they might not be able
to go on with life.
what's up, i ask the leader,
the one in a lime green
highway vest.
didn't you hear, they cancelled
that late night talk show.
he was the best, always
on our side.
Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy
could be next.
they're taking our leaders away.
disappearing them.
who, i ask.
never heard of him?
what time was he on,
what channel?
was he funny? who's Kermit?
