“I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love

But I shall be good health to you nonetheless
And filter and fibre your blood.”

So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”
