I wonder

November 05

I wonder how it feels to have to listen to endless news coverage, repetitive analyses, of the same people everyday for the whole of a year;

I wonder how it feels to be courted by ads and strangers who talk about issues that I care, or they think that I care;

I wonder how it feels when I receive a call from future president on my cell phone;

I wonder how it feels when I am engaged in hot argument with coworkers, not over fridge use, but over last night's presidential debate;

I wonder how it feels to volunteer making hundreds of phone calls to sell a fundraiser table to the rich people living on Park Avenue;

I wonder how it feels to get up at 6:00am just to wait in a long line in a cold winter morning;

I wonder how it feels to caste a vote that I know would change nothing but at the same time could change everything;

I wonder how it feels when I know that millions of my countrymen are eagarly awaiting the result in front of a TV, just like me;

I wonder how it feels when I see that the candidate I voted for won, can I say: look, I voted for him!

I wonder how it feels when the candidate I voted for lost, perhaps I will say: well, I voted for him;

I think I must feel proud, proud to be part of the history making of a great nation;

So, I wonder how it feels,

when one day finally, I caste my vote for my own country, China?
