August 14: More Perfect Union

Now is not the time for petty squabbles

or senseless dithering—that time is past.

Before us is the work of coming together,

of building something bigger than each,

something that has room for differences

but is rooted the need to labor as one

for the good of all, to sing from a score

with separate lines of harmonies, creating

what might become a more perfect union.

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
