day SEVEN HUNDRED and SEVENTEEN

                                      Vote Dick (for Vanessa Vesch)

Dick was the town drunk
that didn’t exclude him
from running for mayor
and in a small town
it may not even exclude
him from winning
she says she found him
hard at work
on the campaign trail
passed out over a couple
of lawns chairs
wearing nothing
more than a pair
of American flag
boxer shorts
next to him
a bucket
filled to the top
with individually wrapped
mints, each mint
branded with:
Vote Dick
