We will march as equals,
white, black, Asian, indigenous,
and whatever miscellaneous extras we can find
(so long as they're photogenic enough for Instagram),
arm-in-arm singing "Fight Song" in one voice
beneath a drone-filled sky
to the edge of extinction
where we will leap together
screaming "This is all Susan Sarandon's fault!"
into the face of the abyss.
It won't be pretty,
it won't be wise,
but at least,
for one glorious flash,
we will get to feel like we really tried.
