Matthew Anish Poet Classicism

Of a Land Far Away

Sitting here on the 
   Lower East Side 
  wondering what will happen 
  in a far away election 
   A magazine I just imbibed 
says the outcome is uncertain 
   Little I can do about it 
except go to the polls 
which as an American is my right 
Despite those who do not like democracy 
Many of us still 
   cling to notions 
of a happier world in the future 
    which - G-d willing 
we will live to see
