With its ritual of steel  its great chimneys  its secret scholars  its siren song  its neon skies  its Christmas sales  its cult of God the Father  and of epaulets        with its keys        to the kingdom        the North is the one        who orders

but down here, down  hunger at hand  resorts to the bitter fruit  of what others decide  while time passes  and pass the parades  and other things  that the North doesn't forbid.        With its hard hope        the South also exists.

With its preachers  its poison gases  its Chicago school  its owners of the Earth  with its luxurious costume  and its meager frame  its spent defenses  its expenses of defense       with its epic of invasion        the North is the one        who orders.

But down here, down  each in their hideaway  are men and women  who know what to grasp  making the most of the sun  and eclipses  putting useless things aside  and using what is useful.        With its veteran faith        the South also exists.

With its French horn  and its Swedish academy  its American sauce  and its English wrenches  with all its missiles  and its encyclopedias  its war of galaxies  and its rich cruelty        with all its laurels        the North is the one        who orders.

But down here, down  near the roots  is where memory  omits no memory  and there are those  who defy death for  and die for  and thus together achieve  what was impossible        that the whole world        would know        that the South,        that the South also exists
