One

The blue flame that warms
the national living room
the only window in the house
the only window that matters blanketing
the whole world under one
big cultural front lawn
Irish Italian American
Tokyo Disneyland
Hollywood hollyworld
pluck out my eyes
grind me into dust
lift me up
make me whole
make you one
make you one of us
pluck out my eyes
grind me to dust
bear my child
lift me up
make you one of us
make you part of our American family
we receive while
we sit before our screens
teach us
set us an example
we can all live by.
