Not that anyone's asking

Election Day Eve verse from Khlebnikov, just because:

Refusal

I would rather

watch stars

than sign a death warrant.

I would rather hear flowers murmur

("It's him!")

when I'm out in the garden

than see a gun

shoot down a man

who wants to shoot me down.

Which is why I would never

be a governor.

Ever.
