many are busy this weekend
asking people to get out and vote
i am busy checking for survival gifts
i need to find how to donate a goat
while some choose to sleep in
on voting day
somewhere in the world
people are killed for trying to have their say
not entirely sure
how we got to so many factions
in our most intimate moments
so many distractions
in the midst
of senseless noise
i can’t sometimes hear
my own child’s voice
i slowly sip my cardamon chai
close my eyes and bite into my avocado toast
realize that on this sunday and always
meeting you is what i want the most
