1776/1996

 elsewhere
 i dreamt of america:
 grown from youth and ignorance
 and something i didn't yet
 have a word for

 a queer horizon
 cuts across the straight highway
 with all flavors of purple

 an honest man
 defers judgment
 and love will march with merit

 a midwestern girl
 whispers promises that will
 never be broken and never be kept

 and twentyfour years later
 you can take your silly american dream
 anywhere
