Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.
I also have a book collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.
The online open mics are going well. We had one this past Wednesday. Want to do more. Hopefully will in September.
I'm always busy. I can't stop. I'm publishing this poem now. Thanks for reading.
While Everything's Fine
Today's the Scarlet "A" on
Hester Prynne's shirt stand
for "Alive. All remain
cinematic sidekicks who
United under secret desire
to become billionaires, we
combat over gnawed bones
Why should anybody else
have anything with meat?
Play arcade soundtrack,
have our war games as if
cheat codes are in the
hypothetical safe we'll all
climb in once killing starts.
The cheap comedian gets
urine colored laughs as even
his pockets get picked. Let's
sneak into the movies in time
for part where everyone dies.
Creep onto side stairwell,
sit and wait until every old
novel nobody can understand
is adapted to have explosions
and cats playing baseball.
They must satisfy the audience
that steals their cinema. Seventh
inning stretch music plays out
to the unmarked graves to grab
November's metaphysical vote.
Special thanks to Mary Jennings, Chris Fitzgerald, Julianne Powers, Ed Gault, Jon Wesick, Ethan Mackler, Patricia Carragon and James Van Looy.
