Patriotism, 1

[dedicated to the Poet, Stephen, who reminded me---

in the days when I was too full of myself---that amicable

disagreement can be a part of friendship]


United States is abbreviated US.

U and I are in the United part of the United States;

U and I---both---in the first two syllables of this greatest nation's name.
