Election Fever

elections afford a reflection

a speculation on what's going on around

the relationship between

the obvious and the underground

local sentiment

tax evasion strategy

sublime in the details

minutiae where no one goes

indifference meets the roots

of apathy head on

only so many public transit votes

suburban subdivision units

come with garages for many reasons\

in election season

no majority votes

the elites manage to move

the world around with remotes

no one's paying much attention

disinterest resting on self absorption

if your older you hold out

for the holy ghost

so many seasons under the bus

limited by property's tax

a permanent fast of cut backs

and all of that

our future doesn't seem our own

tax avoidance a currency we all can use

our units of trust a speculation

of the uninformed and the truly confused...
