playground politics

the boy
in the striped shirt,
with the broken tooth
is in
charge of the playground.
he demands
a line
to form
behind him.
because he's bigger
and louder
than everyone else,
the children listen.
you can see him one day
on the side
of the road
waving and smiling
holding a placard
asking you
to vote for him
in this coming election,
but you won't.
