Vote No on Redtail Ridge

Vote No on Redtail Ridge

money is energy
two people tell me this week
it feels like magic

there’s dark magic and white magic
people told me in Ireland
this feels like dark energy

can I launder it?
push it toward the light?
toward working for good?

Redtail Ridge: hard to know
which side to vote for –
a no vote says yes to what?

but when you follow the money
it’s clear to see:
no is yes to more restraint

yes is no to rethinking what we want next
now that the world has changed:
no is the road to a new map –

let’s draw it

waves 2020

waves 2020

the waves never cared about politics
conservative, liberal –
they would break the same way
with the same force
travel the same endless distance
across open ocean

but now the waves know
things are not the same
and there’s little they can do –
it’s so hard for them
to make little wet hands
to X out change

instead, the waves quietly whisper
vote for us
