Can't Stop the Wednesdau

The Cavalcade of COVID poetry continues with Peter F. Crowley alongside artist Eric N. Peterson. Welcome to another packed Wednesday of work at Oddball Magazine. 

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION: Stone Soup Croutons, 9-2-20: Citizen Soldiers

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup'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 out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

To paraphrase Lorne Michaels, this poem doesn't go up because it's ready, it goes up because it's Friday morning.

Peter Crowley gave us a fine feature on Wednesday. Inspired by Kyle Rittenhouse, he started off the night with a poem about white supremacy. And as much as I like to have a poem run a gamut, this is not one of those poems. I've been frustrated with the so-called "citizen soldiers" being reinvigorated by Trump and just decided to go on about it. The results are what you have below, which I was actually wrote the first draft of Wednesday and finished up last night. Seriously, vote blue in November and get these sidewalk warriors to do a mass suicide in the streets. And thanks for reading.


Citizen Soldiers

White militias
hunt and dine
on red October
before election day,

their archangels armed
with long teeth instead
of blazing blades, robes
tattered like pulled cotton.
