two beats of silence between guns
a child cries alone
a crowd applauds
the bells of the Peace Tower sing
an anthem
Imagine …
an ellipsis of notes of steel rings
for words won’t move
his body forward to its hearse
where the media roll its ready visuals
with a tenor in Hi Def
a distinct nation in self-surround
and for a serious moment
all the rest is silence
for Jack
