The poem wasn't too bad. I read it again in the Times and it's not too bad. It was intentionally solemn, simple, plain, and easy.

This maybe gave it more meaning than it should have, and it was not as stirring as Angelou's poem, but who cares. We got to hear some crazy Yo Yo Ma neoclassical weirdness at a presidential inauguration.
