Emerging from their cone of green,
The thin vermilion trumpets
Sound their call to action.
I want to ask who planted you
In this dense thicket of blackberries and salal,
Or did you volunteer to shout
CODE RED to all the passers by,
Inspiring us to do the same; to stand like you
Beside the public thoroughfares
Like signs objecting to injustice;
Proclaiming your right to live and work there,
Orange in a sea of green?
