Situation Normal


from the ABC set

According to the signals,
and the straws in the wind,
the situation is normal.

According to the papers,
and the polls in the street,
the situation is normal.

And there are riots
or protests,
depending on your point
of view.

Another monolith topples.

According to the TV,
and your social websites,
the situation is normal -
but not serious.
