Inauguration

The phrase ‘shit sandwich’ springs to mind here. GObama! On the shallowest note, I dig the coat he wore. That’s a badass coat. I don't envy him. He has to live up to the words he speaks. Poets just have to speak them. Good luck good sir. On the subject of poetry, here is a transcript of the inaugural poem by Elizabeth Alexander, who had the unenviable task of following The Great Orator. Still, it's probably the biggest audience for poetry since Knebworth. I don't know if they got the line breaks right.
