I To Sing America Sing Sorrows

-- I, too, Sing L.H.

I am not the Poet this isn't a Line

What it is is a Mystery to Me

Always has been--Quit buzzing-- Oh poetry!

You who have wept with the Greatest and Climbed

Up to Mt Olympus or Macondo

What is the difference, mi paisano?

While you fear the Sublime shadow's Curtain

I stand for what mattered to Heroines

Fearful Courage! and Defeated Triumph!

The losses weren't worth their Sacrifice

And lost to those Reason the Albatross

Dear Poem, I curse you with Life as I am

Don't stand there pretending not to Notice

I to Sing America Sing Sorrows
