On this day of note
twelve generations ago
with a bloody byonet
America severed its umbilical chord with its cultural roots
and nobles of note
were granted no more estates of note
and came to these shores no more.
It may do us well to note
that from that day to this
for better or for worse
America remains a nation of the merchant class.
There are no great estates of note
no great castles of note
and no great art of note.
It does however
possess a great wealth of paper
of note.
