In Grant Park with President-Elect Barack Obama on November 4, 2008

"To those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope." - Barack Obama, Nov. 4, 2008

and far too many stars have fell on me.

things I found in the city today:

fifteen after midnight.

eucalyptic.

there's always a siren singing you to shipwreck.

and it breaks my heart,

because you had to know that I was fond of you,

dare to be one of us, girl
