Poetry by Edward Anki

         Paul VanDerWerf CC



Psychic Fair 


Garry's been on the circuit 
seventeen taxing years
he charges sixty bucks
for a 20-minute reading
seventy-five bucks
for a 30-minute reading
Garry's fifty-eight years young
with sorrowful 
dark circles beneath
watery blue eyes
good old Garry's
in upstate New York
November 11th to 13th
don't miss Garry
Garry's been taxed.
