Welcome, My Friends


The 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremonies

President Bush kept checking his watch,
Vladimir Putin watched attentively while
his army marched across the Georgian border.
Sarkozy sat alone, the Belgian team may
have worn the ugliest outfits. I watched
in wonder as 10,000 Chinese people drew
swords, pounded drums, swirled flags
and cheered for each nation in turn.
Welcome, my friends.
