On my phone came a reminder
That today’s Election Day,
With a list of things to do to keep
Anxiety at bay.
See some art at a museum,
Find a park to soothe your soul,
Have a meal at some new restaurant -
Diversion is the goal.
Go to church if that’s your calling;
Do some shopping if it’s not.
Read a book or try some exercise -
They both can help a lot.
At the bottom of the message,
Which reminded me to vote,
After all of the suggestions
Came a most surprising note:
“If you’re feeling suicidal,
Here’s a number you can call.”
When I think of this election,
That reminder says it all.
