We all know who Natalie Merchant is, yes?




The Rule of One

If we must have monarchy,
a single soul at the helm,
why can't it be Natalie Merchant ---
or some other woman
with a shining mind,
with an artist's heart?

"Nomads, I believe, see life more as a cycle—at some point, you return to your starting point—whereas sedentary people may believe more in progress."

Well, sanity would be an attribute worthy of the position too, don't you think? I must admit to my ignorance here and tell you that I had to do a Wiki on Madam Marchant, but now I am partially acquainted with her. Nice to know there are other nonmisogynistic poets about. Blessings, Allen
