The vote results arriving made me grin.
I marvel at the sign of catapults
from hopelessness to joy, from how to spin
the vote results.

I’ve savored hatred toward the MAGA cults,
but now I’m proud to be American.
We turn in expectation like adults.

We aren’t lost. Perhaps we can begin
in confidence from which good work results.
There’s optimism simmering within
the vote results.
