Long Resale Poems

The Amistad Mutiny

Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:

Sailing the Atlantic Middle...

Crudely pasted to the fence

To notice he was a notice
Announcing a brand new play
A fusion of two classics

In talking animals
And moons made of cheese
Fairy castles
With shinning knights
And magic doors
Secret gardens
Dwarfs and Trolls

Yes children will believe in anything

Mermaids and cities...

Fiddle sticks

I have no idea,
But when I go in, 
It’s a resale store, and I’m
There to buy something.
I don’t care if it’s a stuffed antelope
With an orange neon butt,...

Paw over paw, tail over head

Tearing out filling, making them dead.

He dressed daily in whatever he wanted, which was not a sin.
