poetry by j matthew waters

on the art of falling down


we met at a seminar
on the art of falling down

her name was soda pop
but she preferred cola

she was the kind of gal
who could easily fit into
the american idiot album

I had a feeling she loved green day

her techniques impressed me
a clear indication that this
wasn’t her first rodeo

noticing I was struggling
she hissed & gave me a wink

as if to say look old boy
just be like a bendable straw


april two thousand twenty-five
