Bastille Day, Wrong Country

First Verse
No parade here. No bread riot.
Only a bakery on Sixth
flying a small tricolor by the register
and charging extra for the good butter.

Revolution travels strangely.
Two hundred years and an ocean later
it arrives as a croissant
and a line out the door at seven.
