the definition of election day:

sitting in bed close to 7 am waiting for the election tracker to light up. 

sitting in bed close to 8 am doomscrolling through election websites knowing it's all futile now.

sitting on the couch close to 9 am waiting to go to the polls, to mark in little white boxes our future.

sitting in the car close to 10 am waiting to get to the store, waiting to feel like this is completely normal.

sitting in a chair or on the couch until close to the sky's disappearance,

close to the results,

knowing it's all futile now.
