The everyday looks different for everybody right now. That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
We Can Be Heroes
you hear a lot about heroes these days
the nurses
the teachers
the cashiers
the bus drivers
the delivery drivers
the poll workers
the meatpackers
the moms
the dads
the single parents
the single people
the scared
the lonely
the kids stuck inside
the grandparents stuck inside, too
and all of us
all of us
in between
here’s a wonder
and a question
for every one of us all:
the last time you sang
land of the free
and home of the brave,
did you think you’d ever take it
quite so literally?
and yet, here we are
each of us in our home of the brave
each of us fighting our way through the days
heroes, all
in each our own way
