all hail

All hail
Miss Chief

All hail
Disbelief 

To turn it over
the same as it was before

To turn it over
same as what came before

Progress not perfection
errors, detected 

Deterred, reflected
like light

she bounces back.

All hail 
Miss Chief

All hail
Disbelief 

In our minds
we see clearly

what in our hearts
beat, for fear we 

won’t see what she be --
A phenomenon, unique

she seeks.

Mischief reigns
Miss chief reigns

All hail 
Miss Chief, 

disbelief  

All hail
