To Absent Votes
They're packing up the polling boothsAnd pulling down the post-itsAs the suns sets on the primary schoolAnd the streetlights flicker onAcross the town your mother left behindAt a bittersweet sixteenYou're trying to convince meThat the government is goneAnd you're not one for anecdotesBut remember our delightAs we drank to absent votesAt the chance that you were rightIt was a disappointing sunsetOnly 'cause my hopes were much too highWe took some beers down to the landlocked jettyAnd looked across the lakeAt the detritus of election nightIn a town without a traffic lightCurling at the edgesLike a pre-loved paper bagAnd you're not one for anecdotesLetras de cancionesBut remember our delightAnd we drank to absent votesIt was just a perfect nightThen a solitary sailThe softness of the lightThe moon a fingernailThe chance that you were right
