Hopes for a Better World
Dennis: "There are lively political struggles in our time, particularly in Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia."
Walking those ragged, pitted sidewalks
where walkers, shoppers surged,
one had a sense of buoyant hope—
surges of confidence, unleashed desire:
the broad-grinned ice cream vendor,
the frank-gazed waitress swabbing spills:
all had a friendliness and trust.
It was good to walk those cordial streets,
companioned by one striving to serve.
