I don’t mind if you don’t. I’m patriotically impartial for now, wouldn’t want to start something disconcerting between us and our contenders though I feel like a cat in water Listening to the suits sensibly spout liquid gold while careful not to giveaway all, simulating open air discussion with non-descript words trying to reside adjacent the sun while kicking away the podium to displace others in deep shadow Ads, polls and social smear taps are on full pressure disturbing our thinning concentration with hyper-text and undertones that scald the senses while democracy eddies on in fluid controversy Alien tribes rally for power banners rustle and candidates sweat over heat of the moment stuff aired on talk shows, orchestrated suds in the bowl stuff spinning their wheels to escape showing shady tints of true color while leaking the other’s hue with a slur Blue or Red is draining through household pipes with seeping and polemic supporters, funneling a load through the tributaries while equally perplexing primary results sit in the basin of the country and clog the sink with debate To the unpleasantly appealing and ripe for exposition confabs and sermons heard, some are mystified, justified and disoriented. All of us, while ready to feel superior not with what we’ve lost, are saturated with what we’ll gain. Some presidential, supreme and chief-like candidate to name but who really wins? ***
