Getting through the next four years

To the editor:

Some notes to myself on surviving the next four years:

Continue trusting logic,

common sense,

when using such is

disparaged, ignored, skipped over

by holders of power at this juncture;

Stay steady, calm, when bullied

(humor is helpful);

Pray, pray for light

when some in power

would like to delight

in darkness;

Recall that the Soviets required

“permanent revolution”

to remain in power

for the time

that was given them.

Remember you’re an American

and don’t need to

hold to the party line.

Lavish love

on our own precious birthplace.

Afford fellow Earth dwellers

space;

Stall tries to force the world to

conform

to our own

cultural norms;

Pray.

Pray.
