Election Day
 
  Fill in the line
in Maine
another Bond issue

may qualify you for a
sticker
not the purple finger

so many suffered for, but
just as dear,
a Duty and a Privilege and a

Right all at once, all the friction contained in the
felt
tip.
The
new bridge &
that old road &
Mr. (or Mrs.) Smith's pension need that
vote.
And- unlike that repair or
that check-up or
that personal responsibility or
Holy day of Obligation-

if the pebble in your shoe eats eats into
your time
to fill in that line,
somebody else Will do it.

Voting is a privilege seen by so many as a chore.Because the system is not geared towrads making every vote count
Elysabeth Faslund (7/25/2007 1:43:00 PM)
All the silliness in creation, right behind that voting curtain, door, what-have-you.
Some good, most just flat 'something to do'. But, police tend to get involved, if we 'do it ourselves.' Why is that? Good going poem! You're good! ! ! Elysabeth
