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.
