Rise – dVerse Poets – Quadrille
Image: Honore Daumier’s painting “The Uprising” 1860.
The bakery opened with a flourish
and the baker said,
“rejoice, eat cake”
but soon he only offered
stale breads, yet
the people continued to pay,
timidly accepting his insult
without thought, but lately
I’ve been feeling that our
yeast will rise once again.

People do tend to put up with a lot–and even normalize it–before rising to demand better bread.
