[GET UP AND STAND ON YOUR FEET!]
Get up and stand on your feet!
Go build an altar.
Not just a stage but with all of you
Eating and playing
Airplanes and dolls, butter
From bread on your fingertips.
Why are you crying?
Why are your eyes shut?
Let's shake up a rhythm
And scuff the dust on asphalt.
(Fanny Howe,
1940-2025)
