Nationalism without Culture

this inaugural makes me
miss the inaugurals of bush
with feisty, loving protest

as alice walker
on democracy now begins her remarks by saying
obama's inauguration gives us a "chance
to take our leadership position in the world..."

and she wonders why inaug
not in june
if it were
revolutions might have been
in 2000 and other years

biden hilarious
talking about how americans
built the monuments in dc
frank lloyd wright
argued we should build a new capital
and need a culture
