I was able to see many things on Election Day
Today I voted in a Baptist Church basement at the
corner of Giddings and Leavitt.
I voted for Clinton, Gore, Durbin, Devine,
Pucinski, Hourihane, and Michael Jordan among others.
No Punch 10 of course because I love the perforated satisfaction of
striking the pin on the dot of my choice and saying "Fuck You"
out loud
while looking at the printed name of Salvi or Dole or some
other phreak I hate for the moment
"Fuck You" as I press the pin into the hole never Punch 10.
Plus of course I always verbally vote "DOW-wn" against
Richard J. Elrod the former Cook County Sheriff who
left office as a crook with his head hung in shame and now
steadily gets elected as a judge I have no idea how.
I voted for no judges who I haven't seen in person,
with the exception of a guy named Michael Jordan
that's a gimme couldn’t
pass that one up.
But once I stepped out from voting
into the cool crisp Fall,
I saw that across the street
a large dog had had a
bowel movement there and the dog was
kicking dirt with great force and
determination backwards
trying to cloak what it had done.
But the large dog was kicking so hard
that the dirt flew straight Over the turd
and did not cover it.
I learned many things on Election Day.
