Vote

Due to absence —
Of capacity

A citizen must be prohibited
From

Managing their money
Refusing medical treatment
Getting married
Signing a contract

But their capacity
To vote — is presumed
Intact

Because —
The machinery
Lacks competence —

To test
The capacity to vote —
To operationalise
The test

And, or
It is operated through
Fear —

And, or
It simultaneously holds
Each single vote — is indispensable
Each single vote — is dispensable

And, or
It permits avoidance
Of finding — whose vote is cast
In the name
Of the incapacitated —

It grants —
To vote

And, or
The machinery
To test — the capacity
To vote

Requires — the incapacitated
To elect
The machinery
That grants —
Vote
