she asks me.
red or blue?
oh my, i tell her, letting
out a sigh of exasperation.
what else you got.
green?
yellow? maybe a nice
sunset pink?
don't be silly, she says,
pounding a sign
into my yard
of an oily man waving.
what are they fighting
over this year, i ask.
same old, she says
taxes, abortion, immigration,
schools,
vaccines.
bike lanes.
you know, the usual stuff
they stir up on the news.
but you should vote,
it's what makes this
country so great.
there's a referendum on
gun control
that you should really vote
against.
shame to not allow us
to buy machine guns anymore,
don't you think?
