the great debate

the great debate
fizzled
into the late-night hour.
well
at least for me,
but i stuck
with it to see if the moderators
would actually
ask
a single fair question
to the 
VP.
why so many
changes
so close to the election?
why not
do all the promises
you make now?
four years,
you've had all the power,
all the tools,
and now you want to bake
a cake? but
she did well, memorizing
her platitudes,
her practiced stare downs,
her condescending facial
expressions
in getting under his skin.
around and around
and around.
no minds were changed.
will the undecided
be fooled
again?
