Anemometer

by Matt Gillick

Reflecting on March 24, 2018

We thought putting two

fingers

in the air

on Pennsylvania Ave.

while Emma Gonzalez

said nothing

at the podium for

six minutes

and

twenty seconds

was the right

thing to do,

to say,

to feel.

We were all just

seeing where

the wind was blowing.
