Poem by Lucine Kaplan

YES, WE CAN CAN (1830s)

It’s Monday, November 4th, 2024

Emotions are whirling in whispers of the devil

And we are reminded not to stoop to their level

By the time you are reading this
we know the outcome

Regardless, I prepare my work to go either way
when the election is done

So I draw on the times when we, women, began to
provoke and poke fun

We played with the idea of liberation as if it
was ours
and we have already won

No man holding our tongue

In sync, dresses soaring
highest notes to be sung

Upsetting him and he

Now on stage
the world’s most famous dance to see

Between Moulin Rouge and Radio City

So either way we swing
after one more night’s rest

May we remember
we have always
found a way to freedom
through what we each
individually
do best
