Stand in awe, and sin not

What? Sin not? Good luck with that. Just to stand

these days is sin; in fact, could there be greater

sin than doing nothing?—than pretending

innocence when Wall Street knocks at the door

and homeless children blow up like balloons,

full of C02, tuberculosis,

other people’s prosperity, and doom.

See them floating above the skyscrapers

wise as serpents and innocent as doves,

red, yellow, blue; interesting as newspapers,

“all breathing human passion far above,”

giving this old world everything they’ve got.

See them passing. Stand in awe and sin not.
