The ten percent in the center, Mitt,
will remember in November
before they exit the polling booth
to choose their votes
more carefully than your
less elegant words,
and they won’t be voting off the cuff,
and the point they’ll be making
will leave no chad hanging,
and the hole they leave behind
will be no bigger
than the eye of a needle.
David Feela writes a monthly column for The Four Corners Free Press and for The Durango Telegraph. A poetry chapbook, Thought Experiments, won the Southwest Poet Series. His first full length poetry book, The Home Atlas appeared in 2009. His new book
of essays, How Delicate These Arches , released through Raven's Eye Press, has been chosen as a finalist for the Colorado Book Award.
