Finally

Someone has to care about you,
Before you can be good or bad.

If you can live wholly unseen,
Congratulations. No one can,

Finally. Someone always sees
And votes you for in, out, up, down.

And you know that, and you prepare
Your speeches and counter-speeches,

And by those, more than behaviors
That others’ votes and those speeches

Evaluate, you find you are
Both bad and good, and then it’s all

A matter of how much, how much.
Finally, no one cares that much.
