cans, broken bottles that glitter (poemoff 2)

cans, broken bottles that glitter (poemoff 2)

toss you away
like so many
yellow McDonald's wrappers

cheeseburgers would be more satisfying

each second spent
eating chocolate

piling wrappers
next to my bedside

instead of you



The title of this poem comes from Zack's "HEAVEN'S LONELY STARS."

Sorry this is late again. I suck. I think I lose the poemoff based on how badly I post on time.

I WIN!

I want to figure out a weekend when I can come up to Bemidji and then you should totally organize a reading so we can read some poemoff poems! it'd be supa-sweet.

Will do. We can do the murder mystery party then too.

Mr Zack said...

Woo!

I'll see what I can do about coming down after my employment situation has settled...
