THE POETRY READING by Dave Roskos

he walks the walk

of a wounded man, 

smokes his cigarette 

with precision and grace, 

unsure if it's his last one. 

writes his last poem 

before being sent 

in front of 

a firing squad. 

the wall he is standing 

with his back to 

is splattered 

with stage blood 

& bullet holes.

the lights come on,

 everyone either goes home 

or returns to their seats. 

show's over. 

fat lady choked 

on a chicken 

bone.
