Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

It's like that one thing
My country kept trying to tell me
As the twilight
Inched its way on up its body
My country kept trying to tell me
As the twilight
Inched its way on up its body

He, when the wheel of empire whirleth back,
And though the world’s disjointed axle crack,
Sings still of ancient rights and better times,
Seeks suffering good, arraigns successful crimes.

Couple of years ago, when I had a long early commutes, I'd open my notes app and leave on voice to text and brainstorm lesson plans, essays, poems etc. It was pretty good about long periods of silence.
Made the drive seem like a productive part of my working day, rather than just a limbo.

like starched stone grave markers at sunset;
a flash in the heart at the glimpse of calf;
later dancing, later kisses that tasted of rum,
but now, snipped out of time and so,
and so and so.
