Dear Everyone
We try hard to understand
to know what to do
making lists giving money sending
articles and articles of explanation
what were all those women thinking
if Jill Stein hadn't won the outcome
would be different how can this be real
what does it mean what does it mean
we call one another more often now
ours a state of emergency four years
when we don't know can't predict
what or why we come from difficult histories
most of us have heard these stories before
what we do how we do we still don't know
we look for ways out ways up ways
we look for ways to make a world
where all of us can live
