2004 U.S. Election "Choices"

Do I vote out of hate? Hit, hit, hit hit hit?

Do I pull an October surprise out of the hat I sit on? My lies would be miniscule in comparison to Karl Rove's. Kral Rvow? Krla Rveo? Akrl Orve? They all make my skin crawl.

Do I shat before I sh...? Can I shit?

Do I vote? My franchise is sold before I even own it.

Do I?

I?

We?

Why?

As a fully empowered, engaged American citizen, I have never felt less empowered, powdered, enraged, engulfed, underwhelmed by my fellow citizens, than now at 12:21 a.m., Sept. 24, 2004.

I am doing some research over the 2004 election and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for me about your poem. Thank you
