Make it Write

Tabloid
By Fayette Fox


 
The honestly gritty thing
Under the old man's
Slipper shoes
Are my own
Misinformed version of the news
 
Sweaty Italian man undershirt
Morning after
Dusty light through the
Wooden slits
 
Her
Still asleep
Twisted in the sheets
 
She died during the war
Perhaps he should have
 
She still seems to be lying there
 
Unconsciously breathing in the Mediterranean


 
The old man doesn't look Italian
Gelatto ice cream
Pinocchio Ristorante
 
Lo Coco's
 
Apparently this town is smitten with Italy
And old men with false news
 
Don't trust everything
You read in a poem
