49.06 Poetry by Paula; Obligatory Draft Post
Big Gulp
by Paula N.M. Jennings
The 2049 Draft Class
Stacked. Top to bottom
Like a hoarder's cupboard
Mismatched Tupperware bowls
Cool Whip containers
and thrift shop China
Something for every fancy
If it can be reached
And not caked in decades-old
Raisin Bran residue
Draft day
35th overall pick
Anxiety-compacted confetti
Ready to explode
And celebrate.
Plan
Ponder
Pray to Camacho.
Who should it be?
A pitcher
Or punch-and-Judy hitter
As is custom
As expected at the Basilica
Why meander
from the box and bagged lined trail
Winding the non-living room
Garbage piled
Empty hangers
Content-empty magazines.
Stay true
Stay the course.
Do not falter.
Do not be swayed.
By the lure of
7-11 soda cups
Emanating
power.
The Big Gulp.
Please
Don't.
Ah, you fuckin'
cunt.
You selected
Bob Hunt

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

A tear of agony? Of disgust? Now that’s beautiful.
