[Winston] Churchill perpetually demonstrated
enthusiasm, determination, and optimism—
if not at all times in private, then at least
always in public.
—International Churchill Society
Whatever else—always charismatic,
dawn sun hitting
the red wet
brick beautifully
on row
after determined column
of shabby-but-
decent apartment buildings—
That I should be
awake to see this!—so often
I admit I don't
often notice.
