Inaugural Poem

Rumbler loves poetry, but this was silly. Can I still say that?

Here's my poet's response:

I am typing at my computer.
It has a wide screen.
My phone is ringing and
I turn my chair to answer
It.

He speaks into the phone to
Someone else.
I wonder where he is.
It is lunchtime.

But seriously, one part of the poem she talks about the "dead who brought us here..." and she forgot to mention the thousands of Union soldiers that died but then, they were white. I am sickened by this reverse racism.
