Poetry: Selections from Grant Guy

the preacher cried all day


visited mariam  it was thursday afterall

but mariam had doubled her prices


the preacher cried all day




what do stars eat for breakfast

not the movie kind of star

the celestial stars who have no interest in us


baloney and eggs


& toast

no butter or margarine


just dijon mustard




the cowboy rode out of her life


my god

she poured herself a glass of wine

put her feet up

& listened to etta james


life is good


she sipped on the wine
