Henri Rousseau
The Representative of Foreign States
Saluting the Republic in a Sign of Peace
Big Dream, Little Dream
The Elgonyi say, there are big dreams and little dreams.
The little dream is just personal …
Sitting in a plane that is flying
too close to the ground. There are wires …
on either side there’s a wall.
The big dream feels significant.
The big dream is the kind the president has.
He wakes and tells it to the secretary,
together they will tell it to the cabinet,
and before you know there is war.
