it’s election day
and instead of red or blue
i’m wearing purple

i didn’t consider
when sleepy-eyed
i picked this passion,
two layers of
red-mixed-with-blue,
violent violet,
that i’d be combining
both parties.

this is where i am now.
no, not in the middle
no, not wary of my political stance
no, not accepting the other side.

just purplish
feeling a bit
done
done
done
with politics
that with any combination,
redbluepurple,
bring angst
into our lives.
