At the Foxhead on Election Night Michael Chaser
How to say it?
Except to say it straight?
I saw things on Tuesday night that I never expected to see
and to which I'll try and tell my grandkids, who'll say I Exaggerate
first black man elected president
amidst fears of war and economic depression;
McCain delivering a genuinely touching concession
a white man from AL
his head bent, crying after hearing Obama speak;
Chicago's million-strong all-nighter; and, to cap off a night of dreaming,
a writer walking into the bar
as usual, except this week his date was a life-size doll of Uncle Sam,
and he was giddy and smiling,
and it wasn't a sham.
