alphabet series #1 - A is for America

A is for America
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
the Appalachians
the Adirondacks
Ansel Adams
the Apache and the Aztec

from the Atlantic coast
through amber waves
to Alcatraz

As American as apple pie
apple of my eye
The Big Apple
with its art
and architecture
and asphalt

A is for America
the ever awkward adolescent
acne-ridden
arrogant
and altruistic
