#591 The Anniversary

Apple after apple has ruled 
this room & what's outside
it, but now, perhaps, some 
sort of coup d'état has taken 

place & that meteorite so 
often seen hovering above 
the sea has come ashore to 
usurp the — dare we call it 

that — throne. Now, with 
the curtain discretely moved 
aside, it is looking out at the 

plaza, no doubt hoping to 
see a crowd gathering there
to cheer its sudden ascension.
