New Poem: What poets think about when they praise Amanda Gorman

 she’s There

 maybe one day I can be There too

 with book deals that drop after the Event

 >

 she’s ready to write to order

 tailoring poems to the Event as advised

 >

 the modeling deal doesn’t bother me

 we should have written word rock stars too

 >

 every so often a poet who doesn’t get it writes

Amanda Gorman omitting Colin Kaepernick 

because her brand matters more than truth.
