Economy has found a chair to climb
with its oil slick feet
& the educated homeless
have already begun setting up living-rooms
beneath palm trees.
Goodbye Everything
hello to a change of clothes,
a pair of sandals,
& converse shoes
that’ll be talking along the strip
when the noose breaks
and we are alive again
with what we own.
Brandon Pettit is a former small town New Yorker now living in Florida as a 27 year old snowbird working on his MFA in poetry, although there are many afternoons he feels he is studying the art of disc golf.
