11/6/18: the vote

 

“November Rain”

but more like “Civil War”

this Election Day

the temptation to believe

my single vote won’t matter

    Frank, I hope your vote mattered to you. It feels like that sometimes, but I refuse to give up hope. In America, we swing back and forth. That is democracy. I’m not always happy either. Let’s hope that we find an equitable balance. And, your Tanka was heartfelt. ❤
