Percy Dovetonsils Poems

The dogs
are as enthusiastic as ever,
updating their olfactory maps,
seemingly unaware,
...

Even those few Okies
who dared to come,
who signed the waivers,
realize that,
...

Not the friendliest neighborhood.
People come to these hills
to get away from other people.
...

In the Summer
in the '30's,
Pop was Omaha's
King Soda Jerk
...

In this new scenario
all of us
are Winston Smiths,
sequestered, quarantined, isolated,
...

American foster mother
you brought your bottomless,
unconditional,
love
...

There are so many of them
there's no keeping
track of them.
Writing sappy poems
...

The governor
has told everyone
to cut loose,
to gather in
...

He stands in long lines
outside banks and 7/11's
the masked bandit,
waiting for his chance
...

It's not
all
bad.
...
