Cross Cultures


I write a poem to stranger
in a country of which only
one fact is instantly recallable;
the craning of a misbehaving American collegiate.

At same time,
I wonder why Republicans
never say, “God bless Earth.”
instead of “God bless America.”

For new to me poet and I
both share this planet,
but only I live in America.

Yet,I feel
we each deserve blessings.
