she wasn't gonna WAIT 
in a line around the 
BUILDING 
&
I wasn't gonna ask her to
BUT 
all the RECALCULATING 

was making me
grumpy 


they HAD curbside 
it just was
incomprehensible 

I pulled in next to this old guy in the passenger seat, no driver

is THIS the curbside?

YES-- there's a woman we'll flag her down

I had been lucky enough to pull up at the time that
the bus from the senior home was
MAKING CLEAR the WAY 

the first person I talked to is like you NEED to be in one of THESE TWO parking spaces

& I'm LIKE 
there are cars PARKED there
I cannot BE in THOSE SPACES 
CAN I WAIT 
in this space, until those are empty

this woman approaches 
& I KNOW she is the ONE to wave down 

she tells me
I'm voting curbside too
because it just doesn't make sense 
& if anybody asks
JUST SAY 
WE
are VOTING
