(I was 66)
My mother was on the Village Council
She first ran when I was
twelve
I didn’t know she was going
to do it
My wife is on the City
Council
Been married twenty-five
years before she ran
I didn’t know she was going
to do it
I know I did not cause it
Forget the psychology of
the subconscious
or purposeful co-incidence
It was not my fault
Really
I could never stand to sit
so long in long meetings
my mother to decide where
the one
new street light would go
exactly
my wife to study survey
consider
cross-town routes with
freeway access
and judicial zoning to
include affordable housing
but both of them mostly
to confront the guy whose
pit bull broke
through the fence again
