   AMERICA AT THE MILLENIUM
      By ... Steve Lucky

What does it take to write
The American poem of the millenium?
Does it require a vocabulary
Of extraordinary proportions,
Or historical knowledge
Complete to the minutest detail?
Does it merely require
Paper and something with which to write,
Or even existence in a certain time and place?
The land of the free
Requires none of these things!
The poem is carried out
In our everyday activities.
Poetry in motion.
This is the American poem of the millenium!
