Park Street, 1:24 p.m.

Suddenly, a speech, getting louder --
It's Barack, the S.C. speech.

From where? We stop, listen.

A van drives by slow, megaphoned,
Obama sunrise on its side,
And bursting with campaign signs reading
Hope. Change.

Driver: old, black,
Grinning.

Destination?
The future.

All aboard!

I love this! It's funny: I didn't even realize it was in a poem-like format until I was half-way through reading it.

I think I got hung up on the second line and I thought, "Wait, Barack was in the Common and I missed it!?"

You should submit this somewhere a.s.a.p!
