time for a change, maybe

a young woman
calls you and wants
a contribution
for the candidate
that you voted for
last time. but you
hesitate. i'm on
the fence this year
you tell her. she
laughs nervously,
and has no where to
go with that. no
answer, no promises
of we'll do a better
job. the economy,
the wars, immigration,
healthcare and
social security
will all be worked
out. she says nothing.
only that if i wanted
to match what i sent
nearly four years
ago, she just needed
a credit card number.
i don't know, i
tell her. it's going to
be a game day
decision this time
around. i'm still
waiting for the change.
call me back in
november.
