The FOOT SOLDIERS are in charge of Metaphor Security, they enter while audience members are making this pledge by the poet Gary Snyder:
I pledge allegiance to the soil/of Turtle Island/
and to the beings who thereon dwell/
one ecosystem/in diversity/under the sun/
With joyful interpenetration for all.
