The End of Patriotism
I wonder when people will take the flags off of their cars.
How will they know that it is time?
When will it no longer be important?
Will there be a public announcement?
Or just, the sober realization that the danger has gone?
And, the banner is tattered and worn.
Will it be, one by one, in lonely contemplation that the
world
will return to normal again and the flags will disappear?
Or will it happen in a flash?
Who can say?
But somehow it is all kind of sad,
because,
the world never will
really ever
be normal
ever
again.
