May you see red white and blue
in every breeze
When blind convictions vacillate
may strangers lovelier than you can imagine
medicate your collective soul
and wrap it in soft gauze
May your hearts never hold
a going out of business sale
May threats tossed
over turbans oceans away
not dilute the New York of your strength
May the nipples of your breasts
drip patriotism and when you see
Lady Liberty’s tears falling
toward vast pages of ocean
may you fuse with native soil
each of you content
that nothing unresolved
endures forever
