2011 Poem by Bill Kamen

A commoner from Berkshire
found her Prince,
and the earth shook
from Japan to Oklahoma.

Hawkeye laid next to a seal,
wings spread one more time,
many welcomed home,
some not.

From Libya to Pakistan,
the highway of death
well traveled.

An Arab spring
updated an
edition to
Animal Farm.

The silhouette
of a world
approaching,

and the
last words
uttered
by the
dying
Jobs.


'Oh wow.

Oh wow.

Oh Wow! '
