Election

Election

Maddening rush, results trickled in

So much to lose, so much

To win

While

Her almond eyes smiled

Candidates brazen fought for selection

Too much was at stake in

This election

While

Her almond eyes smiled

America beautiful

Both form and shape

Yet hidden reveal

Did one

Can-

-did-

-ate

Take

Sweet

Gentle caress

Spirit

Free bound

While

Her almond eyes smiled

Bohemia fierce and strong

A

Candidate sought

To remind

Of power hidden.

Her almond eyes smiled

As the car stopped

Maddening rush, results trickled in

So much to lose, so much

To win

Through deserted half-light

Almond eyes smiled
