Our Pride

This is what I'm seeing/hearing: My daughter's furrowing brow and repeated questioning when new executive orders are issued, "Really?" Maria shaking her head, even in moments not relevant to our concerns, and mumbling, "Strange times," repeatedly. Me mum, part intrepid, part cowed, looking up at me during these protests and saying, also repeatedly, "I love my city," as if she just discovered she loved it more than she already did. My mother-in-law, when being interviewed by a European journalist during this evening's "Rally Against Hate" in TSP, looking directly into the journalist's searching eyes and saying, for who knows how many people in the world to hear, "Trump can go fuck himself!" 

This is what I'm seeing/hearing: Really strange times in this city I love that seems to be telling Trump to go fuck himself repeatedly.
