poetry by j matthew waters

blurry eyes and right angles


I notice the water pail ornament
hanging on the wall
is crooked
and I mean by a lot

it’s crooked I say out loud

what’s crooked she shouts back

that red white and blue water pail I say
pointing at the wall

you’re crazy she says
she’s as true and blue as she’s ever been



may two thousand seventeen

    not sure if you know it. True blue is an Aussie expression, like dinky di meaning for real
