I voted today
even though
I feel disenfranchised
by my ignorance
and inability to focus
on the issues
and fear of asking anyone
to clarify them for me.

As always
it seems
the process will pass me by
and I will discover
what I should have done
after the fact
sometimes by years.

I have lived through so much of history
and only knew of it
after the fact
thanks to my own stupidity
and fear.

But at least I voted.
Go Kodos!
