As you defrost your Turkey and pluck yer' taters for the Mash, remember that not all of us will be sitting around a familiar table set with revered family and beloved friends.
Poets, in particular, are often required to spend their Thanksgiving in penitent meditation and reflection as they undergo inpatient rehabilitation, at a facility surrounded by people they have known for only a week or two.

I know the seat he is in, and I know it can he a lonely one.
Let's bring some cheer to his day, and let him know that he is appreciated, and we, as Whites, are Thankful for his existence.

I am Thankful for your participation. It really will make a difference.
