Agnostic about U.S.


God
Apple pie
Country songs
Parades
Old soldiers in cars
Standing and clapping for
The stars and stripes
You take it
I’ll leave it
For
Blues
Jazz
Basketball and
Bruce Springsteen
Hardware stores and
Five and dimes
A great burrito in the mission and
A lecture at the mosque
And
Plantations and
Water hoses and
Internment camps and
Assassinations
Here at home and
In banana republics
Too and
Though I prefer peach and
Berry and
Even pumpkin cheesecake and
Especially strawberry rhubarb
I will eat apple pie and
I’ll even make it
With a lattice top
Apples and
Bananas
Are good for acid reflux sufferers
Who are realists and
Agnostic
