the march (to weeping)
Standalone Poems Standalone poems often appear in the volumes of my A Poetry Archive series. I’m writing fewer of them these days, tending instead toward themed sequences that become their own collections. Today's poem, however, comes from a unique and random experience - attendance at a protest march. Quite an experience to reflect on, even though it was a relatively uneventful occasion. This one comes from that day.
