/// In Berlin, burghers sat on their porches,
to avoid the hot sun when it scorches.
But when it went down
they’d march through the town,
having purchased these girls’ Tiki Torches.
/// You could see them through windows called casement.
Even hear them from deep in your basement.
The words that they chanted
were never recanted,
