I have more
to share than
short poems
can say.
Remember,
eight years ago,
the audacity
of THAT revolution?
It feels like
another one
is happening
with and without me.
My political firestorm mother?
Gone to bed.
My green-voting father?
Likewise asleep (ON! WISCONSIN!)
But I can sit not alone
in a wifi’d lobby,
connected with my kids.
“So Mind Blown” defines the moment.
We watch,
together,
a revolting revolt
against good old boys (and girls).
It’s too early to know,
but it feels good to watch
and know that there is,
at least, possibilities.
Because revolutions
are always fought
not knowing the outcome,
but having hope for change.
As I sit with my children
miles and states away,
I’m glad they reflect me,
and proud they honor them.
I was sad to be alone
during this revolution,
but am honored and happy
to have, again, connected.
Whether it’s hoops,
Packers/Seahawks,
Rock n’ Roll,
or revolutions;
Whether it’s sunrise/sunsets,
music, traveling, museums,
eating, drinking, or holidays:
I’m glad when I’m with my kids.
Kuhns Kids!
YOU RAWK! YEAH!
Now, how about this change?
Turn and face the strange!
