the water is rising 

on the unwilling—

land back obama 

you evil thing

soon enough

trees are being

repurposed 

who held the land in trust

who held the water

in trust

dying for his utility

people who believe 

before they know it 

or not who 

who say we

won't be moved

with signs

being moved 

anyway

shuffling 

with signs 

across the street

down the block

out of beneficence

out of the neighborhood
