October 18
People will be watching.
Be careful how you love —
It may cause an unsafe drop in
Side effects. A special election
Edition that will last right up
Until we are all dead and
Changing the subject.
(That never happened.)
Outside the polling place
Of the soul they stand,
The watchers. The monitors
Who do not believe in us,
We are so invisible to them
We can walk past them.
Their eyelids only snap open
When they hear the hand
On the lever.
Translations from the English 
“the polling place of the soul”. “When they hear the hand on the lever”. Wonderful lines in a wonderful poem, Jeff.
Thanks, LD.
That was quite exciting, JS. I voted weeks ago and you just caused me to feel another little surge of power. 🙂
A poem causing a surge of power is a very good thing. Thanks SJ!
