The sign
It says
“Please stay at Home”
Forget your car
Forget your bones
In their closets
They must stay
All your ambition’s
(Fears) —put away
At least for now
At least today…
——
This first time directive
We can collectively recall
To just do nothing
To sit in our stalls
But these American
Mustangs are getting
Restless
We like to roam
We like it breathless
We just don’t know just what to do
When we’re told to stay home
Until this is through
