Standard porcelain soldiers
stand silent sentinel to all.
Stud horses gallop in gray stalls
waiting for their riders to return.
Appearances deceive those
whose eyes wander without wiles.
Camouflaged chameleons could be cops
or just another California curiosity seeker.
Eyeglasses follow all
assuming the position
and inspecting the ranks.
Yellowed paper sticks to heels
and stirs the dank cauldron's tiled yard
draining urine to its rusted drain.
Caution stays the voice.
Fear freezes in place,
but queer quarry unglues its tongue.
Busted!
