The Second Coming

They line their lawn chairs
next to one another,
polarized shades cover their eyes,
a drink in one hand,
a pennant in the other.

Facing East,
a sunbeam blinds them
as they anticipate
the Risen Savior.

Hello, Lovedly,

Nope, I do believe this group was expecting or anticipating, much more than imagining.
Thank you for reading!
