Hanging Chad (2001)

By James Moats in Asheville, NC

write it all down for me
put it on paper with invisible ink
i need to see it concrete
it's just too hard to believe

you are sitting on a swing
flying over all the trees
shall we all sing
about a happy day

put it in a letter to me
wrap it up and tape it up
send it three day priority

you are swinging your feet
never mind this valise
it's where i keep my secret things
i snuck it in with ease

below the radar of the men
with phony badges
and their high school class rings

i would appreciate it if you would
honestly speak what you think
on the issue at hand

there's an issue at hand

i've got something to say
i wasn't listening but
you kept talking anyway
you had no idea
