An American Janitor




An American Janitor




Who am I

but the janitor of America

who finds calm in my stride

who works for this great Nation

of Peace and Hope

by filling each Honorable drop with salt

as to grasp the handle

of a mop and broom

where dreams often begin

along this trodden linoleum path of liberty.

Freedom I say I shine.

A Patriot as far as these 

clean, flung stars.
