DISCORD IN CONCORD


Veiled by an overhanging branch,
	like a kid playing hidin' go seek,

  a small stone stands at the edge of a
	lawn, Monument Square beyond,

whose huge petroglyph tributes to    
the bloody hash of war shadow

the simple spot where a single citizen once 
	said "No," and, without intending,

changed the world.
