Did they leave their cast-off garments for the poor
to pick up and wear after the parade?
Who kept watch for the Romans,
and what was the signal to disperse in a hurry,
and who knew and who was left to fend for herself?
Did Jesus scratch the ears of the donkey,
feed it fruit from the cut-off branches
from his own hand?
Did the street vendors see an opportunity,
or board up their businesses for the day?
What did they leave behind?
Whom did they have behind?
What were their demands, and were they accomplished?

Did they leave their cast-off coats
in the street for the weary?
Were the olives fully trampled,
or did they leave the gleanings for the hungry?
What kind of a protest, what prophecy was this?
