5/21/2018 0 Comments Ambition By Kristin GarthAmbition You liked her lemonade stand. You take it in hand. You speak like a daddy so that she’ll understand. Her girlification of your business plan — will not read what is written. Taste. Demand. Push pennies at her — grime, black residue. Sunshine beneath, a glint — cute, squinched — of you. Placate with pats, promise offhand. Sharp teeth bequeath; good girls understand. You’re all plans, wingtips, projects to do; her saccharine empire eclipses you. You own the land. You burn her sign, her stand now ash once pine. Simplify her, something small to amuse -- ambition’s just ammunition you use. Bio: Kristin Garth is a poet from Pensacola and a sonnet stalker. In addition to Anti-Heroin Chic, her sonnets have stalked the pages of Occulum, Faded Out, Drunk Monkeys, Midnight Lane Boutique, Ghost City Review, Neologism Poetry Journal and many other publications. Her poetry dollhouse chapbook Pink Plastic House is available from Maverick Duck Press (maverickduckpress.com). Follow her on Twitter: @lolaandjolie.
