Voting, Because the Toilet Won’t Unclog Itself

Sometimes Democracy
gets clogged with 
greed and corruption,
lies and obstruction

Sometimes the shit
is so massive, 
so dense that 
one flush won’t do

Sometimes, to get that
lingering excrement 
to flow out of the house
and out of the senate…

for that enormous,
orange-tinged turd
that just won’t go away…

Sometimes, you need to 
flush ten, fifteen times

to force that shit
down the drain

hoping we can someday
recover from the 
overpowering stench
