Poetry For Everyday People
Hail To The Chief
So the man is elegant,
intelligent, articulate,
in touch, with perfectly
in tact, uninterrupted,
somehow?
human integrity,
under historical pressures,
Harvard in his back pocket
(as a pouch of red man
golden blend),
he's at the game, he's changing
the world, he's raising his kids,
he's looking at his wife
with pure eyes,
Tony Bennett is at his house,
Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder,
"the house is rockin'
don't bother knockin", Stevie's
sending down smiles,
all is open, all is open,
change is here,
they are fighting hard,
but they are fighting
a losing battle,
way beyond their
closed minds,
we shall enjoy them
squirm,
soft as the night
is beautiful.
