but I will say this, and am willing to stand behind it:
Regardless of who wins, there will be some violence in our streets over this vote before the week is up.

Gotpoetry Live on Election Night
In recognition of the fact that our new venue, Blue State Coffee, has been an active and enthusiastic center of activity for the Obama campaign, we’ve chosen not to have a feature tomorrow night but instead to simply open the mike to all comers. Comes speak of your hopes, aspirations, concerns, whatever, as we read poetry and peer anxiously at the election returns.
All political stripes and solids welcome, of course. Bring yourselves and be genuine!

Understanding The Poet 2
Capitalization
is a method for blending in.
A period is a bullet.
A comma is a safety.
An ellipsis is his consideration of an order from headquarters to stand down.
A dash is a microadjustment prior to targeting.
A semicolon is a shift in mode from single shot to full automatic.
A question mark is cocking the hammer, moving the slide back, then forward.
An exclamation point is a deafening report.
When none of the above are present,
he has let his guard down —
for the moment, anyway.
