Written by Craig Kirchner
Tolerance, in his typical elitist tone
was elucidating on the plight of migrant children.
when Integrity interrupted
with a rare and curious announcement.
“Humility would like to have a word.”
The stillness and silence
were immediately being compared to
similar ominous moments in the past,
like when Self-Control spoke
after hearing of Bobby Kennedy’s death.
The last time Humility
had asked to contribute, was just after rehab.
A two-story tall burgundy curtain
opened just slightly.
Hum walked on stage, uncharacteristically,
in a tuxedo and suede loafers,
opened a folding chair,
produced a tall gin and tonic,
and began –
“All traits and characteristics
need to get a drink and take a seat.
We are going to be here awhile.”
