LAKER DAY PARADE

by Andrew Hilbert


in LA 95,000 assemble
to celebrate a victory
in a dying city
in a dying state

in Tehran hundreds of thousands
assemble to prove
that they are not dead
and will not die quietly


Andrew Hilbert has a degree in History at Cal State Long Beach and lives in Orange County, California.
