Today A Poem

Today in my Collaborative we are asking others some tough questions that are obvious and broad but still not given a lot of though by the everyday person. Including our selves. Questions like: what do you dream about? Whats the biggest joy in your life? What happens after we die? Whats the hardest thing you've ever done? On and on. Today the question was: what dose it mean to be an American?

An American? An American? Maybe it's a down swing of a cracked bell curve. It's young dumb and full of complications. Not only of mind but also body. It wants much and gives a little to much back. It's large and flat in some places and compact and towering in others. The further you get from it the more appealing it becomes. To be reclusive but open. A giver yet a master of the property. Moist but solid in terms of movement. A sheep with a different cut and next year a shave.
