SNITCH
a bus exhausts at the exchange
of people. on the stop itself
someone has posted a kid’s face
with the word SNITCH above it
the flyer has pull-tab bottoms
like you see on NEED ROOMMATE
listings, or ad spots
for math tutors. several tabs
are already taken
I take the rest, holding them
in my palm like betting slips
maybe I will lay them somewhere
on the chest of a hill, or
the bottom of a well
are we sure this isn’t Hell?
all we do is tell each other
what other people have done
“The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.” —James Branch Cabel
Still not convinced we live in a world.
Holographic universe? Undoubtedly even weirder….
..but i like this thing whatever it is
It’s too much fun to pass up.
Amen.
