HISTORY


History like a play
can change in any act
in summary execution
from an understudy
or an inconvenient error
as in the denoument
of a political revolution,
as an ormolu sky
suddenly will have snow,
Robespierre with dreams, 

as an innocence of Rousseau
until the reign of terror,
sometimes French rolls
simply fall from the table
like a couple of napoleans
devoured in creams.
