Unprecedented, they called it, freshman year, as we watched rising smoke with rapt intensity
Unprecedented, the word on everyone’s lips, the squeal of brakes on money gone mad

Unprecedented, chained to the house while the world struggles to breathe
Unprecedented, both in number and scope, people spilling out in the streets
Unprecedented, that any of it could have been predicted if cooler heads had prevailed
