Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Three different drivers – a mom, a wide receiver and a football coach.
They each had one mission: Help Jack Curtis fulfill a dream that seemed beyond impossible.

The entire Trump era is an exercise in proving the truth of the Fiddler On The Roof line “When you’re rich they think you really know.”

This administration is an extreme overreaction to three things:
