NICER PRONG, AN ELECTION POP

'they wouldnt let us have the vote

if they thought it would change anything'

mark twain

the nicer prong
of
disaster capitalisms
desperate pincers

pats
itself
on 

its

turncoat
back

ROLLABOUTS

you
useless rollabouts
flopping spineless
in the 
shopping
bogof 
gutter

i voted 
for the BEST
for YOU

~

your
whining justification
trumps
any
half-arsed resolution
in 
your
grey exhaust
mandible 
phone 
jag

still i voted
for the BEST
for YOU

~

my meat debt
is overdrawn 
my soul 
foreclosed

still i voted
for the BEST
for YOU

& you voted
for the WORST
for ME

ELECTION O CLOCK

a feeling 
of dread
a suspicion 
of wasted time
my belly 
tensed waiting
for the
sucker punch

thats how i go vote
headache in my bag

i only want 
my economic unit
to play a funkier 
more compassionate 
marching tune

but for a while i will hold time here
hold 
today
like
a
baby
bird

feel its staccato heart

and savour the possible taste
of
possibility
