Anticipation

(in pandemic time)

x

A day of

Thanksgiving

Is a week or so

From now

x

The Canadians

Had theirs on

Traditional

Columbus Day

And my sister’s

Birthday

x

We could combine

The two (not

the birthday) and

Thank first people

For tying up our

Boats, once

We got here

And then have

A national apology

Day for what was

Done to them

Next and since

It’s going to be

A bitterer day,

Anyway

x

Maybe we should

Thank the thankless

For a change,

Which would add

Some sweetness

x

And bittersweet

Ain’t bad

x

There’s wisdom

In it, for it’s

A quality

Both positive

And tempered

x

A good

Thanksgiving,

USA, once we get

There and in

Anticipation
