a day can be a palindrome

is it possible to die happy
even for just a moment 

pretend we have no enemies or debts
pretend the sky is benevolent

can we gather without crowding
in one ruined room in a dream or a film

that isn't a documentary 
where the subject is us taken captive

can we stay in our homes 

without being cast as captives
in every documentary

in one ruined room in a dream or a film
can we gather without crowding

pretend the sky is benevolent
pretend we have no enemies or debts

even for just a moment
is it possible to die happy
