NIGERIA IS VOTING, THIRD TAKE

Fever day four. Anna is at the movies
Or a party and the plastic on the windows
Snows in and out. I hope she's at Katz's
Eating a pastrami sandwich. It's always
Heaving yourself out of the center, which
Glockenspiel charity fail tithe glam

Is voting! at last but conditioned
The United States of Africa
And to the republics for which we stand
Where would it feel more like a sign
From the prohibition butterfly pot
Assailable cleverest tree trainer

Of eight million people but ten paved
Square miles and other inventions
Less useful in the end sure than
The alphabet or electric light but
How else to have a will but to stamp
The regulator, vitiate the footnote
