GETTING THROUGH
empty storefronts
like lost teeth
time bubbles
hollow aftermaths
chains unlinked
folks gone home
some searching
they say that Davids topple Goliaths
and turtles take the race
yet getting through
is what makes us wonder
how much we can smile
with this gap-toothed expression
and how much we will gather for story,
for elbow grease, pooling our resources,
show how we cannot be kept
from banding together
