Just a Few Weeks to Go

"Well squelch you if you're gay or trans"

The foes of progress gloat.

It's time for us to make our plans

To surge ahead and vote.

"Just a Few Weeks to Go" is part of the poem series Feliciatations by Felicia Nimue Ackerman. Ackerman is a professor of philosophy at Brown University and has had over 300 poems published in a wide range of publications.
