Joseph Reich

“my fiddle has shattered!”
they lift up the blinds of
the stained stained-glass
cathedral and like a miracle
a band of sunlight breaks
through bathing the long
honey-mahogany tables
while wino naturally lifts
weary eyes to sunlight
providing a long sigh
of relief from life
breaking up
the miserable
everyday rituals.
your light comes on on
the big scoreboard and
you get all excited like
you have been chosen
after countless years
of being ignored
like you’re
the big
winner
at bingo.
