The National Mall today
was mostly not empty
as we weaved between
museums searching for shade
from the overbearing sun
the partitions still in place
a house that changed perspectives
as you divided your attention
over the expanse of mown green
too far to hold in the frame
visitors in identical shirts
carrying signs with sayings
that might save the republic
if only we could follow them
