I've been writing poems "For Sara(h)." This Sara(h) is any of the Sara(h)s (I know MANY) or a combination of two or more or a part of one, two, or many (as is the case below). I think I'm liking the majority of them so far. I just got an idea for another (hint: it has something to do with the title).
For Sara(h): Beating a Dead Uncle
Fast forward the tape
to the part where my uncle
got so loud
telling us the good news
about how the suit he wore
for his wedding fits
his 8 year old son,
towards the end of the reception
at the dance hall, we couldn’t even
hear the best man’s toast.
I’m not a control freak,
but the lumberjack knows the woods
and this family was wrong
to shout, we are fixed!,
smiling like eager actors.
Yes, this is what my new bride
and I said, leaving
in a black Cadillac
a box, a coffin, a chariot,
we were blazing to Cancun
slurring, what a bunch of
dickheads, but thanks for the money!
