The Choice Is Yours

by Steven Kent

“Will the assassination attempt on Donald Trump sway undecided voters?”
NBC Boston

Oh, undecided voter, are you real?
Or are you, like the “rational consumer,”
A unicorn, a fairy tale? I feel
Great skepticism (laced with jaded humor).

Forgive me, but your argument is jive:
You need more info still, and can’t discern here?
Friend, given what we know of 45,
Exactly what is left for us to learn here?
