No-Bama

Tried to get close enough to Key Arena today
to attend the Obama rally and couldn't manage
to break through the backed-up traffic of 17,000 people
and gave up, finally. Watched it on TV at work.
My younger son, however, arrived late
and managed to gain entry because he knew
someone working security. Go figure.

(Winter rain, unrelenting.
The interminable dark.)
