Convention Floor Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Convention Floor Tanka



written in response to Hillary Clinton's presidential nomination

shards of glass
on the convention floor
a black woman
cleaning up the mess
for the minimum wage

I don't know if this is based on fact because I haven't watched much of the DNC farce, but I like it anyway.
