The Morning After Poem by Morgan Michaels

No one knows what to think or say
everything's over, nothing is done
everything's frozen under the sun
there has never been such a quiet day.

Everything's at that in-between way
sleep from dawn till half past noon
The Senate passed what the House just may
there has never been such a quiet day.

Rare's the car, the buses few
there and here a cab or two
past and future fall away
there has never been such a quiet day.

Wonder who you ought to call
ponder what you ought to say
tell them little, tell them all?
there has never been such a quiet day.

Weh-the shops are closed today
excepting CVS, I mean
think of April, think of green-
never has there been such a quiet day
