Star Spangled Banner

star spangled in her nakedness
 Miss America is she

state of the union

undressed

a flag-wrapped beauty
 publicity shot

 carefree all American
with flowing hair

brown limbed
and
long legged

arranged so artfully

entrapped
enwrapped

positioned carefully
amongst the folds

hoist the flag
start the parade
and set her free

from her photo opportunity
