Suns and Beaches....and Democracy~














Sign reads: “Yes We Can!”

Tho’ the man in front of “we”

Slightly disagrees…


Long line—and I wait

Audience to hems and haws

man’s face getting red


his volume rises

neck veins strain—it ain’t pretty

this rocking the vote


speaking of rocking-

he must own a boat--somewhere

maybe north? Must be!


Why yes….Nan-tucket…

He shouts only of this place…

its suns and beaches….


Line dies down—my turn

Nan-tucket! Suns and beaches!

It all becomes clear


Whining, complaining

When there are boats to be sailed!

free suns and beaches~


Sign reads: “Yes We Can”

Thank God “we” begins with me.

oh democracy…
