Dear America, 
you did it, baby. You lived
up to your promise

even though it took 
some time, you defied history
& got it right.

dear America,
today I see for the first time
what Jefferson hoped

when you were born
anything was possible
and for the first time

          I feel he was right

Wrote this after Pres. Obama was elected. Not sure if I still feel the same way. Three years in and America has, again, shown herself to be a very imperfect experiment.
