Francis Santaquilani Poems

I like being

The Zachary Taylor
...

In the shadows,

Against the alley side wall
...

You and your day were a mountain.
Sickeningly vertical,
Sheer walls
Of an unknown rock,
...

We'll all be there,

Of course. Each
...

Pie is a great idea

Like Rome was.
...

He bolts from the house to the sidewalk

Thinking his speed and gyrations
...

what aren't they?
synonymous with coward
and the colonel,
a brain prayed by all
...

A carnie cracks a crooked
And carnal smile
At the long-legged girls as they wait in line to
Hand him their tickets to ride
...

Except for

The suit and tie
...
