America Is the Poem

for Donald Trump’s
Second Presidential Inauguration
January 20, 2025

Rain washes the dust from train windows   as we barrel through the poem of America.  From New York to Chicago, I watch it scroll by—  frame by frame and line by line.            Rivers and lakes reflect the pale winter sky  and haunt my vision.                    America, what you were,   and will be again—I see you   in silos rising like fists from farmland.  America, the land itself says, “Fight!”    America, I see you in chipped brick walls   stained with faded logos.                   I see you there, waiting   to rise from gone-under towns  and cities spangled in endless dusk.                   We can see you now  emerging from boarded-up corner bars,  baseball fields barbed with weeds,  hollowed-out churches  and factories folded in on themselves  like crushed cans reclaimed by the wild.                    And we see you, and we know you   in ragtag families packed into vehicles   to head to church on a Sunday,   or to visit a grandfather who remembers war   and what it means to survive   for love of the country that survives because of him  and his brothers—gone.    America, for love, we go on.

It’s a beautiful piece of work for a new day in America. Thank you, Mr. Massey.
