Old Glory New Hope
Gratuitous, old glory, flapping odorless
Excitement across borderless continents, the contents
Of which has never been seen, bright patchwork
And ideological capitals
Thousands. Badging betters, sweeping the mall
1.4 mill strong, and growing, 5 inch dreams
Cascading presidential rubber
Over concrete ambition, (at intervals)
Vehicular juggernaughts are on the Hill now.
As generational icons cross under 30 candles
And a twenty gun salute…
A trumpet sounds, sailors dance with delicate attention
Beyond the pull of frenzied flags, a patriotic blur escapes
That which follows, a charming entrance, a fleeting chant
Preceding a pastoral dedication, facilitating
A musical tribute, scraping the convexed american canvass
Onlookers absorbing special increments, in time
The rotunda, pleased to receive
Vocal and orchestral objectives marrying
A floral accent that defies all circular logic
Goodwill avails the day
Flourishing in perpetual infinity.
