Lounging, today, on Your back porch I saw America's men Holding their tiki torches Toward all they had been I saw all of America's men Wade angrily out into the icy upper bay waters Toward all they had been Through the tears of their mothers and daughters Wading out into the icy waters Holding their tiki torches Through the tears of their mothers and daughters Lounging, half-drowned, on Lady Liberty's back porch

America's Men (A Pantoum)
Lounging, today, on Your back porch I saw America's men Holding their tiki torches Toward all they had been I saw all of America's men Wade angrily out into the icy upper bay waters Toward all they had been Through the tears of their mothers and daughters Wading out into the icy waters Holding their tiki torches Through the tears of their mothers and daughters Lounging, half-drowned, on Lady Liberty's back porch
