Winter Evening on the Road Bisecting the Princeton Battlefield

Do not refer to America 
by name. Sample instead “this
country,” “my country.” George
Washington’s horse on the road,
George Washington’s coat in the snow
and the soldiers behind him. The trees
standing guard. A travel piece told me,
Siberia is one of two places on Earth 
that is both a mindset and a geographical location. 
In this country we are all exiles.
