poem of the day April 19

I have been

driving cross country

these last few days

looking for a sign

A sign as to where 

America is heading as a nation

I have waited all week

for an eagle to swoop down

or for Don Juan's crow

to appear with a vision

but nothing has been revealed

That is until just now

when I saw a huge giant

beautiful American  Flag

sitting atop a center pole

The biggest flag I have ever seen

blowing confident in the wind

completely unfurled across our vast nation

in a totally leftward direction
