“There is a We in this poem To which everyone belongs. As in We the People-- In order to form a more perfect Union-- And: We were objects of much curiosity To the Indians-- And: The next we present before you Are things very appalling-- And: We find we are living, suffering, loving, Dying a story. We had not known otherwise-- We's a huckster, trickster, has pluck. We will draw you in.” — Tracy K. Smith
There is a We in this poem
To which everyone belongs.
As in We the People--
In order to form a more perfect Union--
And: We were objects of much curiosity
To the Indians--
And: The next we present before you
Are things very appalling--
And: We find we are living, suffering, loving,
Dying a story. We had not known otherwise--
We's a huckster, trickster, has pluck.
We will draw you in.
