86’ed. By Dan Provost


Barred from Wonderland
with an idea of poetic license
stuck to my calamity.
Billowing hopelessness stalks the
ground with the horizontal
homeless.
Before I go, I’ll take three of what she’s
having and call it a life.
Be patient, as I count the
pennies to pay the tab.
You’ve got nowhere to
go Captain America…
Being 86’ed forever is a
title I’d welcome
           warmly…
I can sit on the curb
all day now
and portray my pitiful
mistake.
As passer byes lean against my
new home.
Trying to lift gum off
their shoe.
