WE ARE POETS

We are poets
walking down the streets
with words in our hearts.
You don't know us by seeing us,
but there are thousands of us.
Walking unrecognized in your midsts.
And we might suddenly make a spin
or burst out in song
or do something loving
or do something nonsensical.
And when your society does something
cold or unfeeling or unimaginative,
be careful,
or we might suddenly rise against it.

The ending is intended to be mean voicing against it with liveliness and goofiness to raise mirth, the ending is not intended to be violence.
