Morning After
Race over now:
Blue makes way then,
Red gains somehow,
New mandate hence.
The vote is in:
Flair in odd choice,
A new glyph seen,
Triumph of mad poise.
Wary world sees:
Markets on edge,
Stakes falling free,
On dangling ledge.
Sense the divide:
Mind-boggling stars,
Watch scary slide,
Tattoo strokes far.
Cheer takes a trip:
So far away,
Reason fails grip,
Dead logic slays.
Pieces of eight:
Parrots old fear,
Dread in gold plaids,
This much paid clear.
The people's choice:
Loud murmurs steal,
Stance in grave voice,
Art of the deal.
Awe strides with shock:
Tinge of regret,
Hurl lock and stock,
Pluck tit-for-tat.
Alarm bells ring:
Dance of new trance,
Karma can swing,
Glimpse hawkish prance.
