American Friends
I am weary of dating my life by wars,
my father, an airman in World War II,
met my mother at a U.S.O. dance,
my uncle the machine gunner in Korea,
the months marked off by packages sent to him,
at eighteen I marched against the Vietnam War,
college dated by Vietnam battles and anti-war marches
we skipped the regular graduation at Berkeley,
had a counter-graduation rally on Sproul Hall steps,
the men pledged they’d refuse to be drafted,
the war and the marches went on and on and on,
the memory of the Vietnam War lingers
like an old scar,
and now the President sends out shiploads of troops,
I’ve been marching against these wars for decades,
every day the hydra sends another shipment of guns,
my hero, Thoreau in jail,
refused to pay his war tax for the Mexican-American War,
his friend Emerson visited him, asked,
“What are you doing in jail, Henry?”
“Why aren’t you in jail, Waldo?” Thoreau answered,
my hero Mark Twain shouted against
U.S. soldiers in the Phillipines,
in every generation my heroes walked in flames,
breached fire,
Thoreau and Mark Twain were ashamed
of this country,
some mornings I don’t want to get up,
drown in a sea of shame—
make myself get up,
this weekend I’ll go out into the streets to walk and sing against the latest war,
I’ve recruited two more walkers,
I’m walking as long as I can put one leg in front of another,
