["A. B. C." speak -- that is, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile.] Pan-America, glorious name! Statesmanlike purpose and brotherly aim! May the gods favor and prosper the plan; But -- who holds the handle and what's in the pan? One man's poison, another man's meat; What's in the pan? Is it wholesome to eat? Good for the North and the Central and South, Pleasant for each Pan-American mouth? Who holds the pan we are called to admire? Any one's fat due to fall in the fire? Pan-America! Excellent plan! But -- who holds the handle and what's in the pan? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOWYOUBEENS' by TERRANCE HAYES MY LIFE: REASON LOOKS FOR TWO, THEN ARRANGES IT FROM THERE by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: THE BEST WORDS by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN CANADA IN ENGLISH by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THERE IS NO WORD by TONY HOAGLAND CONSIDERED SPEECH by JOHN HOLLANDER AND MOST OF ALL, I WANNA THANK ?Ǫ by JOHN HOLLANDER HAD LINCOLN LIVED by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
