Ace of Staves

Slice of Tarot Blanco

It was swirling above the whirling capital dome, on that hill which represents the other city. What was swirling? not just the winds, but a gradually growing mass of people who did not have anything here to cry over than their piss and bladder because it was on this day that they finally could pour out the pouring in of the reality that they did not have a President but a postulant, willing up from their fundament, and eating away at their proximal phalange as if by magic.

And every word that everyone said was “Me,” in great repetitions scatterward. “Me, me, me, me, me.” even in groups they said “Me.” because it was the only thing they all agreed on: that their lives were no longer fit together but now fitted part. The sun was in a blue sky, but there were overtones of the blackest night.

And along the way there was a medic to treat the weary and the sick.

“Me.” Cried the ICEcapacious, who had their neighbors disappear and knew that they would soon follow.

“Me.” Capricorned the students who worked on mice and fruit flies to gain just a little bit of knowledge, to pass up to the scientists working on some small question of cancer.

"Me." Grunted the people who had been soldiers once and trusted their lives to their country as their country interested its life to them.

“Me.” Sang the transsexuals, some waiting for a visa to get there - anywhere, everywhere, so long as it was not here.

“Me.” Wailed the frantic relatives of a daughter who was caught in the cruel cruel South.

It was a mob, a throng, a gasp of happenstance that collided on the Common. many of them suddenly realizing that they were not alone.

There was no conversing only the shouting of a March from everywhere to this place here.

And then beneath the Golden Egg, there rose from the black a figure that was known to some and reminded by all.

"We here in Boston know revolution, revolution, revolution, quite well it began here: no king shall rule over us. And so we marched."

"We here in Boston know revolution, revolution, revolution, because the steps which all animals and plants take to be the form they are our not from God but from nature. And so we marched."

"We here in Boston know revolution, revolution, revolution, and began to preach that no man could be owned by another man because all men are created equal. And so we marched."

"We here in Boston know revolution, revolution, revolution, thus believed that all people should be free under the same laws because all of us came from the same place. And so we marched."

"We must now raise our voices and thoroughly declare that revolution, revolution, revolution awaits us should this pestilence erupt on this shore because this is Boston and we have fought revolutions before. And so we march now.”

And with this, he sat down and watched the interrupts feed the excerupts with the "Me," becoming "I."

Everywhere that people gathered in this great commune, of small piece of that message was transmitted through the void. because at least a few could sense that the dredgings and diggings in every tall walled column were scratching out the ledger of thousands of lives and their etchings upon the walls of fate.

Because the sun shined on the free and the tyrannous of equal parts and with equal measure: because both the light and the dark consumed the rays that conjoined with equal measure. the question to all laws whether anyone should be free or that none should be free.
