Campaign Overload

campaign overload:

ph’losophers, poets, political thinkers,
cigar smoking bosses of the left and the right,
dancers and dreamers, scotch whisky drinkers,
bikers and bankers and girls of the night,

real estate agents and rodeo riders,
the preacher, the teacher, the doctor, the nurse,
sales girls, shoe shiners, and wall street insiders
a transgender dude with high heels and a purse,

‘lectricians and plumbers, lawyers and judges,
embattled spouses, harboring grudges,
high strung sopranos and indulgent maestros,
busboys and waiters, headshrinks and psychos,

citizens all—what a motley collection--
and they all get to vote in every election.
