Welcome to Week 76 of Be the Change
This week I run some numbers to show how transformational Biden's policies have been for America. I also share a poem!

In this post I'm going to use some (relatively simple) math to give a sense of how great the Biden Administration has been for America.

The Allure of Cliché: A Sonnet
|
Neither the moon nor stars alone allure.
Celestial lips may good metaphors make,
yet we can’t long mere metaphor endure:
we seek cliché for companionship's sake.
|
Were this duvet draped over you and I
I’d have no need to exercise my mind,
for it’s the body not the mind that dies.
If only I could the perfect words find
|
I might countenance life's great solitude:
hard as love may be, it is harder to write.
Still I write you into my arms, O crude
reprieve from those interminable nights
|
which beckon their own alluring relief!
What does the drowning man desire most?
Are we not all drowning in quiet grief
like shipwrecks ever-longing for the coast?
|
I long for you is no dreadful cliché:
all poems fail; all vessels sail away.
