Waiting For Pennsylvania Poem by Percy Dovetonsils

Waiting For Pennsylvania



Woke up at 430 AM
and things were pretty much
as I had left them
at 1 AM.

Biden's lead
in Arizona
was still melting
as was Trump's
in Georgia
and Pennsylvania.

And Biden had
several roads
to the White House
while Trump
had just one

unless you wanted to count
his numerous lawsuits and filings
against states
for having the audacity
to continue counting
their votes.

And Biden's lead
in Nevada
was either shrinking
or growing
depending on which end
of the telescope
you looked through,
fore
or aft.

In any case
the SS United States
seems to have
sailed
several years ago,
and all that remains
is a man
on a dock
with a bullhorn,
haranguing
bystanders,

and no sign
that the SS United States
or its sister ship,
the SS America
will be returning
to port
any time soon
or ever.
