new blood was needed 

mixed blood was had 

most of us jubilant 

one percent sad 

 

the last 8 years 

what an ordeal 

each day i woke screaming 

“god, this can't be real!” 

 

what comes next 

truly historic 

so much riding on one meteoric 

 

this last week, what lovely connection 

not used to us being such a friendly confection 

 

with the next era 

our lives could be strained 

a key to survival 

this momentum sustained
