Cast
(in order of appearance)
by
David Bogomolny (db), Lesley Scoble (ls), Melissa Lemay (ml)

db:     everyone I know
                fears the other candidate's
            getting elected
ls:     to whom should I give my vote!
         to him, to her     or to them?
ml:     on chill autumn wind
           smoke from the ballot boxes
                blows
db:     reflected by high turnout
           worries mirror each other
ls:       waiting for the count
           evening air holds its breath—
           pamphlets litter streets
ml:     Confucius says   life  
          is simple—we complicate it  

David Bogomolny, Melissa Lemay, Lesley Scoble, November 2024
