Unfolding clean and new
without any wrinkle without any goo.
slowly erected, first in soft soil
then after apiece in
a bit of turmoil.
Up came the breeze
sending thirsty fleas,
then came the torch
baked dried and scorched.
Finally the storm
which lasted til morn.
The tent was in shambles
all covered in brambles .
so they planted it deep
where no one would weep,
forgotten it lay
until
That Great Day
