Tomorrow is Election Day
and only one of the major candidates' full names
contains both "nation lady"
and "matriarchy"
but perhaps some
will instead have a newfound "clarity"
because they realize this person is "rational"
or has an actual "charity"
and still others
may simply like the fact that this person
is "not him (Don)".
Whatever fuels the decision
it's time to make it
or break it
(the fabric
of our democracy
is all).
