if he wins, i'm leaving

before every presidential
election
you hear people say with a straight
face,
if that guy wins,
that's it,
i'm leaving, i'm moving out
of the country.
of course.
they don't.
they get used to the same old,
same old.
they go to work.
they eat and sleep, raise
their kids,
walk their dogs.
sure they complain, and
kick and scream,
but they don't leave.
they don't know where to go.
France, Germany,
Costa Rica, maybe?
they eventually suck it up though
and move on,
having never packed a bag.
it's all in the game.
