spiral coil from spillth raised
aspire plains to choir on
nothing's own dark inning
erstwhile it's a burst hope
in your lane find fennel
phantoms among scantlings
spiral coil from spillth raised
aspire plains to choir on
let the wrong one linger
latticework & flat tire
home is a huge region
harrowed by pure fury
Long ago i figured why the two parties have been running almost vote for vote the same. Just imagine you have to replace a roll of toilet paper, & there's two ways it can go, but you don't particularly care which. Then it turns out some of the time one way, & some of the time the other. Even though people are roused to assert their tribal identities vociferously on social media, when it comes to actively participating in democracy, what many people feel is a tedious obligation, to be gotten through with as quickly as possible (like homework or jury duty). There really are not that many voters who think about it any harder than that (because, as i say, they want to assert that most precious right: the right not to have to think). So it's a razor edge we walk.
But on the other hand, to play the devil's advocate, there could also be a huge plurality of people with at least enough sense not to step in cowflop, except that the media needs the excitement of a "close race" so they only pay attention to data that reinforces that notion....
