JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS WON!!!! (COVID)
Sometimes I wish I were a Rise Up poet capturing Big
Moments but small moments are more my subject matter
and what I can say now is only how happy so many of us feel
though happiness is never perfect
how happy we are knowing that the ways we couldn't breathe
for so long the ways we held on to the idea that four years would end
the ways we helped each other hold hope and keep
working and calling and sending songs and bringing food to neighbors and
asking each other for Netflix suggestions and believing
in decency and good and believing in Stacey Abrams and poll workers
and workers everywhere who wanted a better world and yesterday so many of us
all over the country all over the world we celebrated together and called
one another and now today, another beautiful day in November, now
after we have all heard Biden and Kamala and Van Jones and the America
we knew was there we know is there now we can continue to work again.
