I Am Anaya Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Their Presence Mattered

Will the real Slim Shadies please stand up ~
                         and so they did, and corruption ruled the night—Poet

stand for tyranny
applaud for injustices?
their presence mattered

Robert Gorelick February 28, 2026 at 12:56 PM How refreshing was Virginia's Governor in her thoughtful response. No vicious diatribe or juvenile rhetoric. We need more grown-ups in the room. I admire your words and visual arts talent and sensibility.

We cannot rely or find comfort in the words our president comes forth with. He contradicts himself (mis messaging) constantly. Ty for your visit.
