After last night’s state of the union speech, I was pulled to compose this piece.
Thanks, Mr. President.

Our waters are strong
our shores ready for jobs
we pledge to open our waters
for more drilling,
. more spoilage,
. more fire,
. more chemical dumping–
we pledge to make
Sunoco and Exxon,
BP and Shell,
Halliburton and Chevron
more profitable, to put America
back to work.
Our strong waters are open
to the drill. We stand,
feet firm on these stolen soils,
and proclaim, we are bigger
than the ocean–
