November 4, 2008 11pm and on

smiling
crying to sleep
what bitterness can be held
O joy
O Whitman
O America
you reawaken
a pride in me
The world weeps with
joy for thee
in this night
avoiding fatal plunders
O bless thee
America this night

We Explode
applause exclamations
of wonder
What I waited
impatiently for
The Adrenaline unmatched
unselfish unrepentant

In tight warm hugs
The Weight Lifts
with my feet
in the spin
This glorious global flotation
we hold we spin we sing
for thee, America

This century of terror
apathy degradation
the sinking National Pride
U-S-A in parody
I Love America in irony
the world wept
at Our stupidity
reacted in violence
against Us, Alies
We lost
We lost
and disassociated
Ourselves from
self-serving blundering
now Lame Duck
Administration

We Rise
stand on chairs
sobbing screaming
America would not
could not
surrender to failure
Not again
It's a Landslide
It's a resounding cheer
America

My skin crawls
in exhalation
The world shouts in awe
O America
Not Red
Not Blue
We blend combine
Make right injustice
soon
Soon -in hope
In Change
Unite
America
