You do. For one thing, it's your dream. And not just yours.
------------------
HOW SHALL WE LIVE IN THE BURNING HOUSE?
There is still time to laugh, and turn the music up louder.
We have a fine living room
to sit and read reports
on flames here, flames there.
The house is burning, we say.
We can buy wine, and chocolate
to make our last hours more comfortable.
We have computers, and stories
of that old hero/villain game.
The holy egg sleeps
in a bedroom full of smoke;
we are afraid to touch the doorknob.
We are learning to draw pictures
of the house burning around us.
Our brothers are burning;
they laugh
and turn up the music. They hit
themselves and their women and
anyone who scares them,
to show they are not afraid.
Our sisters
apply makeup, and hope
a man will come to protect them
and their kids. Woe to the useful
hardworking makers of inflammables!
Some decorate their bedrooms
and some huddle in hallways.
There is money being made
as the house burns.
We might rush into flames
to rescue the innocent
to find them merely the helpless
stinking of oblivion.
We can talk awhile with friends
as they make their tidy beds
in the burning house.
We would flee for some desolate garden
shriveling in the heat
of embers falling, falling
as we watch.
The Egg gives birth in fire!
There, seek Wisdom's child
cradled in ashes.
