poem
Volume 34, Number 4

voting thought

in any given twentyfour hours
everyone on earth more or less does
the same thing each day. there’s the bathroom
stuff, the kitchen stuff, the work stuff, the sit
and sleeping stuff. rich or poor, any
configuration, it’s the same each day.

plenty to work with. starting once a month
anyone with phone or computer could
click on public veto, help decide what will
or won’t happen in the world. public choice.

once a month, five topics, yes or no clicks.
anyone with a number is allowed.
i mean a social insurance number
not like a farm tag or anything like that.
