Surfacing in the torrent
of admonitions and polls:
this tiny note from you,
a voice intoning come on--
Grab hold, you don’t need no
sticker to affirm nothing.
You got my vote. A vote for we.
Poem #6 of 30 Poems in November to benefit Center for New Americans.
It's not about the me, but the we. That's the vote that counts.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Marian.
With sons as teenagers, I find I am often reminding them ... "We are on the same team!" Great poem!
ReplyDeleteI want to write like you one day. Love how short a sparse you are--how much you say with so little.
ReplyDeleteJuice Box!!! great to see you, and thank you!

"We" - possibly the most underused word in the political process. (Practically) perfect (in every way) as always.
