Let America Be America
Let America be America again.
Let America be America again.
It’s November ninth. I’m broadcasting to you from a bunker deep underground near the Earth’s core where it’s still warm. The election was yesterday, and we all know what happened.
Russians, emails, and lies (oh my!)
We made a Pop-Tart assembly line. You know, to save time. An assembly line of two people. I toasted the Pop-Tarts and my brother Andrew buttered them.
What could have been? What would have been, always debated. Again and again, the future and now, and tears, but only hers.
I will be at church at midnight on Christmas, because that’s my job now. I’ve surrounded myself with tradition and ritual, and I feel right at home.
The woman looked at me like I’d asked to give her a dead fish, which, considering I looked like I had come out of the forest, wasn’t wholly misplaced.
You may not have realized this, but the world came very close to ending last Sunday night.
This post, though it may not seem like it at all, is much more personal than anything I’ve written thus far.
