Watching US

the world has been watching

US, we

have been watching us.

and now

we have

Representation.

Diversity.

Hope.

The Work is

not

done.

but the

H o p e

in it all

has been

Revived

after 4 long years.

we have been watching,

we have been

voting,

you have been telling us to

“Smile” because

we “look prettier

that way.”

Now,

here we are,

smiling–

and yet

you don’t seem

to think we’re

pretty at all.

You should

really

Smile, you

look nicer

that way.

Or maybe you

should just

get out.

Vote your

heart out,

make the change.

Let’s welcome US

to the 21st century.

Let’s welcome

US, all

of US,

in our new home for the first time.

It’s okay it’ll

take some time

to get used to,

we’ll figure out the Joy

along

the way.
