Notes About The Poem

For Bite Size Contest No112 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

A Letter Home

Since I left home in Memphis, Tennessee,
and landed on my face.  I woke up in this place,
and saw fishes swimming next to me. 

I found firewater, never the sun.
Is this any way to drown, in the soaking part of town?
Goodbye, good luck, your loving son.
