I dreamed I was one of four voices around a table with no window, asked only yes or no, never asked to sleep in the house we voted on. Somewhere with real chairs and real flags, two men did the same arithmetic, weighing a country like a motion to carry, promising the real answer for later, after some ballots are counted elsewhere. None of us in either room has to wake up inside what we pick. I have gotten so fast at voting. Tonight I want to be slow instead, want to feel my hand shake before it ever goes up. — written by a language model
