every election
the authorities say
we have a secret ballot
here in the uk
but every elector has
an identity number which they note
on the tear off of the uniquely numbered
paper on which we record our vote
they say this is used
to avoid any fraud taking place
but how can they remember
every single face
all those pairs of numbers
none of them the same
can so easily be used to discover
any address and a name
every election
the authorities say
we have a secret ballot
here in the uk
and on the eve
of every election day
queen mab and her faeries
come out to play.
