Sing Earth and Celebrate
x
Shall we celebrate
Shall
We dance
Or tap affirmative
While sipping
To the side?
x
It is an open day
Sky for a ceiling
Though we can make canopies
And later
Light candles
For the bugs
(I mean citronella
or the like
safely
not to kill them
but keep them away
where they might dance
in dark
safe places)
x
Unsure about the music
We could argue
For
A bit of everything
And as for food
Can start with stones
Then
Enter friendly rivalry
For dishes from
Here
Or there
x
There should be
Volume
For talking
And volume as enough
For everyone
And let the children sleep
Near
Or under
Tables
To which
And for whom we brought
Sleeping rolls and mattresses
x
And
Yes
There might be plots
In the dark
Remembering
Our traitors were invited
Too
But
Try to be friendly
People
We will have had
This one chance
For Earth
On Earth
