15,606. I AM AN AMERICAN?

I AM AN AMERICAN

Derelict in my duty, perhaps? 

But that's OK with me. The 

idea of voting is a cruel joke. 

181,000 illegals apprehended 

at the southern  borders in the

month of August. That being

ONLY the number caught; and

mostly let in anyway. You can

read a reputable newspaper if

you wish learning more. (There's

only one left, but, whatever).

-

The Martha's Vineyard Gazette

might also have a column, but

I said 'reputable'  -  not the whiney

fruits of some rich-bitch ranter.

So, here I stand, atop a mountain

slant, wanting nothing but a more

deft life and longer health for me

and the wife. That threshold does

lessen daily, and for both of us.

One day the sun won't rise.

Won't you be surprised!

Look at the huge shipping, trying to

park : it's loaded with our necessities,

and the sort of things you vote for at

Walmart. Cellphones and microwaves,

teddy bears and video games, consoles

and lawn chairs tents and cheap shoes.

It's all for you! Vote what you choose!

-

One day the sun won't rise.

Won't you be surprised!

I am an American; my hand

is on the lever. I am fooled

enough into thinking that 

what I choose matters.
