Democracy isn't efficient, and the only politics i recognize lies
between us, undefined, requiring no casting of votes. It asks that we
admit we're both present, all present, in the same multiform space—
within me or you. I would never ask that you follow me; i will never
acknowledge a leader. I am my president. But also, I am
everyone, trying to be with you, because i exist, and always have.
