a history of the broom <br />a short one, or long <br />will see us down on the floors <br />in the streets and the corners; <br />a little excursion to the theaters <br />of farce and wayward husbands <br />beaten by outraged wives; <br />and if we included this poem <br />in this sweep of history <br />I hope a poem with a broom <br />does not fire the same ignorance <br />as beliefs did <br />conjuring women with brooms <br />supposed witches who flew in the sky… <br />you burned them, remember? <br /> <br />and you would again, given half the chance<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broom-poem/
