Johnny Johnny lives on the porch now says once you get to seventy the road to a hundred is all downhill collects spruce needles in the park to make tea says there’s a lot of people he wants to take revenge on talks about moving and lists the places he’s lived in before but it bothers him that he can’t recall what color the walls were in any of them watches the people parking nods to the mail carriers fixes bicycles and barbecue grills to pay the men who own the house the porch juts out from says people don’t learn maybe only one out of every thousand or million which isn’t enough to stop all the cruelty from being carried on forever will take a cigarette but not a drink says I remember you you helped me bury a cat once I hope you have a good day. Patricia Russo has had poems in or upcoming at One Art, Acropolis Journal, The Sunlight Press, and Twin Bird Review. Comments are closed.
