When She Turns 35
Desiring to be The President of The United States of America is 'a reach that can be reached' to say the least, and is a noble pursuit.
Before I ever read her poem, I saw a news clip of her and was rather impressed that she knew where she was headed, and was preparing to get there. She is such a breath of fresh air in a nation so highly toxic.
In America, we breathe in and out from the left as well as from the right. In America, we pick our peak, climb as high as we can and let the people decide. Yes, I think she's playing by the rules by launching at age 35. Beautiful America, although sometimes a pool of confusion, is still the place where anything is possible.
And yes, I shall be a bit aged, but I shall still abound and be around when she announces*. Whether liberal, conservative, progressive, socialist, or independent, whatever the stripe or type, I'll observe her history and not bother to listen to all the hype. For my support, just like all the rest, she'll absolutely have to get it the 'old fashion way'. I tell you, she will have to be the genuine article and work very hard to earn my vote.
