SIMPLE WISHES

by Howie Good


Bullets would always miss. We’d screw
on the green couch even though

it’s not Scotch-guarded. Hobos would
become Republicans – or, better yet,

Republicans would become hobos.
It’d snow every night, but only just enough

that it’s never really completely dark.


Howie Good is the author of the full-length poetry collections Lovesick (Press Americana, 2009), Heart With a Dirty Windshield (BeWrite Books, 2010), and Everything Reminds Me of Me (Desperanto, 2011).
