NEW: Election Day by Rufo Q

The train pulls out and there are poppies
and behind them houses and the people
who vote, and I think what’s the point
in writing a novel when all around is
living one?
........................Layering a history
on history like concrete or that carpet
so plausible birds sat down on it to eat
does what that a newspaper doesn’t do?
