Lurking at the Early Voting Site

 

 

Years later, some will say this never happened

 

Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

 

 

A Texas Emergency Management SUV

Parked at the poll at the Baptist Church

There’s no one in it, that White Maria

In government white, it just sort of lurks

 

You’ve been listening to rumors, comrade

No, no, there is no typhus in Moscow

Did Grendel leave it while waiting for night?

It just sort of lurks, in government white

 

This isn’t Spain; this is England, you know

And, citizen, there is no typhus in Moscow

 

 

Free-floating allusions for our illusions:

 

The Gulag Archipelago

Doctor Zhivago

Beowulf

A Man for All Seasons

Headless America - doggerel
