The Option To Be In The Open Field.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i will not tell here
how it felt when we were
denied entry to the
Justice Hall,

the guards are saying
it is for security reasons
and today the threat of
terrorists is imminent,

we were then trying to find
other options possible, and
so we decided to just stay in
the open

we bask ourselves under the comfort
of the sun as it was as cold
as winter is coming,

then we posed for some pictures
in the park where meaningful
sculptures of famous japanese
artists are displayed for
the public to appreciate.

it was a beautiful day still
after the denial and the rejection.
