Voting with chips
a time-honored method
involving cannons
steel spheres
and black powder
recognized as definitive
in the court of fait accompli

Just One Vote

If I hadn't gotten lost
if I hadn't left late
if I hadn't forgotten what day it was
if I hadn't been this close to the end of the movie
if I hadn't been all tied up — to my bed
well, then the Venusians would've won the election
the Martian party would've been out on its aural membranes
and the forced marches
culling of the strongest, when the food transports.docked
and the ocean removal
probably would have stopped

Elections Under Attack

The danger to our way of life is insidious and pervasive. One of the greatest dangers is the subversion of free and fair elections. Russia and other hostile powers have successfully manipulated our electoral process before, and continue their assault. Social-media disinformation and hacking of voting-machines undermine Americans' faith in the electoral process even if they don't change the results. This process has already begun. This danger requires that the Congress act now, and forcefully. First, paperless voting machines should never again be used. Without a paper trail, we cannot be sure that votes have not been falsified. Second, social-media companies must be required to police malicious accounts. Finally, more resources need to be directed at cybersecurity, and not only to protect elections data. This won't be easy, but we can do it. All we need is the political will to make it happen.

Worked all day ferrying voters to the polls. Use my wheelchair van to carry five disabled voters today. That took until 4:30 in the afternoon.

a weight off my shoulders

the jackals sniveling at our heels
slink off into fetorous dens

a new sun buds bare branches
new showers relieve parched throats
new breeze the scent of sweet olive

I didn't vote for that crazy Nazi or his registry of undesirables.

Primary election day in Alabama.


when red-state pols
are jailed
for cynically disenfranchising the poor
and state IDs are free
then
demand to see them
but no
we don't live
in that milk+honey world
