nothing came of my submission
but i'm not surprised
poetry in academia -
they recognize what they teach
i'm an outsider, a swarthy intrusion
my capitals weren't capital
and my punctuation lacked a certain punctuality
all the winners were girls with anglo names
no surprise there - takes one to know one
lisa butterworth and abigail p. druthers
with boyfriends named todd equestrian
and grammies and paw-paws
and smores, brownies, and bran
they make me sick in a thousand different ways
this was only one of them
