American Woman
John Clare Stokes
In the sober dusk of Friday there she was
From disco Moose karaoke was heard
the off note strained sound of Peggy Lee
Calling loudly, softly, persuasive to me
It was not in our dereliction to abandon
all caution to a karaoke Independence wind
Before the siren could draw us nearer to siren
Of the fireworks about to begin,
We were going about sixty five
in a forty five zone.
