"John Henry Crosses the Threshold"

30 January 2018: Digging on this poem tonight. Feels just a bit like counter-programming for the State of the Union, too.

Here's the closing (by Samiya Bashir):

"...and folks thought
I was crazy try’n’a dream us up a
future even if I couldn’t see it
through all that dust       those sudden
                                                                           shouts and screams."
