American Hymn
The doughboy admire his sweet, certain hands, kneading, knotting, stroking, sculpting a tantalizing masterpiece
 
 The virtuous pubescent illuminates the tamed hills of comfort with his glowing emerald specks
 
 The amateur impersonator raps her skillful feet against the hollow floorboard, her locks, weightless, affectionately waltz amid the summer's tender breeze
 
 It laughs with beauty, hoots in hysterics, giggles with gaiety
 It looks, and see hope
 It hopes with faith
 It dreams in glory, imagines in brilliance, and wonders in splendor
 
 They say it is the envy of the world, the summit of Everest, the Beethoven of music, the Nile of rivers, the Admiral of Sparta, the Jupiter of Planets
 They say it conceives dreams of the impossible, tastes triumph in defeat, subsists in foolishness
 
 I am the navigator of the swift seas, the immortal knight of Arthur, the melody of desire
 I am divine. I own those flawless hands, those luscious locks
 I am captivating, startling, sensational
 
 When I laugh, the world shrieks with delirious delight
 When I look, close aspirations transpire
 When I dream, my heart seeks matchless success
 
 I taste succulent victory
 I achieve the unachievable
 I lie in the loving arms of my infinite imagination
 
 I am America
