January twenty-eighth time

Modern day knights--
the lancing, crusading
variety--would have
an enormous social
media presence.
They would be styled
by the finest tailors
and the peasants
would compete to cut
their immaculately
colored hair. Knights
would often be women.
All would champion
the voices of those
previously unheard.
They would treat
their horses kindly.
There would be
minstrels to sing
these songs;
and every year,
fewer distressed
damsels--many
more tourneys,
feasts of plenty,
slaying of dragons.
