Everyday Voting

The many me’s sat for a talk.

We had to sit cause some can’t walk.

Some are too damn young to talk.

But they still come to the meeting.

The young and old take their seating.

We glance and nod our greeting.

There is something so deceiving

Forty Barry brings up.

(He’s in his cups)

Now, THAT’S ENOUGH!

A wiser Barry says.

This convo in his head.

Plays out daily.

Hold on, say he

Speaks out loud alone?

Would someone phone

The authorities?

For sure, would he

Just kneel right down and say

It’s the senior Barry, okay?

You don’t have to be this way.

Let me talk to your kid

Cause I’m Barry the kid, now

Let’s go out and play!
