I want to read poems at the white house wearing my favorite clothes probably a hoodie or perhaps my Belgian suit.
Belgium is a failed state in the heart of Europe which is something to aspire to.

For a week or two after the election, I couldn’t bring myself to read the paper. I wasn’t interested in anyone’s analysis of what had happened, why it had happened, who was most at fault. Instead of reading the news, I read poetry. It spoke to me in fragments, shards of anger, grief, and sadness.
