Seven More Days (COVID)
We read Amy Siskind Many Times a Day
Brilliant Keeper of Lists:
8.15 million Texans voted 92 percent
of the 2016 total Biden up four points in Iowa
recite Amy Siskind to one another
our cheerleader our conscience
call strangers tell them why they have to vote
strangers say yes
wait in long lines to vote ourselves
don't sleep much worried one more week
listen to music meditate meditate Don't Think
About the Elephant all we think about
is the Elephant watch what we can Korean soap opera yesterday
try not to be overly optimistic and yet
we know this country as imperfect
as every single place on earth we know
next week we'll have a chance a Real Big Chance, again.
