the small town parade

nothing
happened here, maybe
George Washington did
ride his horse
down
the cobble stone street back in the day
when coming
home from
the Revolutionary War,
maybe.
but the director of the cultural
activities committee
plays it up,
and has a parade each year
on his birthday
with everyone dressed
as George and Martha,
or British red coats
with fake blood on their uniforms,
surrendering
in shame.
why not?
