Even if good wins 

it’s astounding to know 

it was a close race

which means 

all the losers
are still out there 

lurking

and pretending to be
good too.

My neighbor has a habit of saying,
‘nobody in their right mind would vote for him’
and I’m always compelled to remind him,
nobody’s been in their right mind
for a long, long time.

Even though I’m quite aware
of the growing attraction for non-human devices
I still voted for the human.
