by David Feela
Just as Quakers sit in silence
moved to stand
when the spirit insists
so does the American public
occupy its bench
in perfect contemplation
of the moment.
Then Democracy quietly rises
without speaking,
shuffles into the bathroom
and with uncharacteristic clatter
bolts the door.
David Feela writes a monthly column for The Four Corners Free Press and for The Durango Telegraph. A poetry chapbook, Thought Experiments, won the Southwest Poet Series. His first full length poetry book The Home Atlas appeared in 2009. His new book of essays How Delicate These Arches released through Raven's Eye Press, has been chosen as a finalist for the Colorado Book Award.
