US in the USA

America is not make up of one flag

and should never resort to a statement otherwise.

I saw

many flags

that represent you and me

and US because

we are made up of 

gay,

queer,

trans,

immigrant

and so many more populations.

Everyone here stemmed

from a flag 

without red, white and blue.

We need to raise those flags

more often.

We are each stitching, thread, and vibrant color

in each of the flags that makes US.

I saw a ton of flags,

and none of them were "American"

They were US.

    who laughed with me when no one else would

    (we always went near the fence/shade from trees)

    Moon, May I?

    May I just say, dear

    You look marvelous next to me.

    Dazzling, even, perhaps.

    Morning glories hold my heart out to you

    So

    May I just say,

    you are the star

    dazzling in the bright abyss I provide.

    Which Day is History?

    When is the question history can never tell us because it is always and never for someone. 

    And everyone is rarely possible, but many

    is a blessing only found when the puzzle is given attention to be solved carefully.
