Campaign


After what I thought a vanilla

comment regarding how flavorful 


property tax has become of late, 

the bailiff followed me out 


at my early departure muttering

he’d like a word. Outside 


the courthouse he conferred 

beneath his breath his encouragement


that I consider a run for

the District One Commission Seat,


how Judy O’neal down at the station

could get my message out on the news,


which would be neat and all to do

if I had a message other than


an invitation to sit with me

on the porch as we try to decipher


the morse code the fireflies flash

over the field, that missive


sure to make clear what it is 

we're paying toward just by being here.
