Waiting For The Dead To Float By
Christopher Barnes, England
There’s 5 sponsors
beneath that offscum
and all The Insurgents ever begged
was a little backyard love,
political recognition.
He tightens a sphere-of-influence arm
quill-driving the aquarium’s guest book,
threatens.
It’s framed exhaustively with spoilage
from the canal.
