Open Mic

Richard Schnap

The first poet read
A flyer he’d found
Describing somebody’s lost cat

The second poet read
A diary entry
Discovered in the back of a thrift store

The third poet read
A popular tabloid
Detailing a celebrity’s suicide

The fourth poet read
A birthday card sent
By his aunt who had died of cancer

The fifth poet read
A note of rejection
From a prestigious literary journal

And the last poet read
A letter that said
His fiancée had found someone else
