A Poetic Thought

I get this daily emails with poems and literary facts called the Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keiller. It is provided through American Public Media. Today's poem seems apropos to my previous post (The Sound of Silence) about the debate. It is called "Fix" and it is by Alicia Suskin Ostriker.

Here is the last three lines of the poem, if you want the whole thing, go here:

So what is it, this moon-shaped blankness?

What the hell is it? America is perplexed.

We would fix it if we knew what was broken.
