On Monday I will wear my uniform -
A blazer from Goodwill, old khaki slacks -
Knot my made-in-China patriotic tie
And verify that my papers are in order
On Monday I will sortie through the candidates -
I’m important to them on this one day -
Then work around their signs all slogan-trapped
And rush the doors through a hail of cliches’
And watched by comrades with their helmets blue
Vote for a Merovingian or two

Early voting begins in Texas on the 22nd of October. Despite the many days and many opportunities and many polling places, only about 50% of the electorate vote. Apparently the other 50% are too busy complaining.
