BEING A CANDIDATE IN ‘08
by Art Goodtimes
Everyone’s focused on Obama
to win this year. His face
like moxie held to the sky.
Me I'm taped
to the campaign wallboard
waiting on pins & needles.
My poster’s the wood rooster.
Happy to work as a team
player. Not just top cock.
Still, the future’s as binary
as dandelion plucking.
They love me. They love me not.
