Three Poems by Bob Marcacci


steer clear of barnyard
         talk           the strange talk
             a toy machine makes
when the string is pulled out of its hole
                        goes back in as the middle spins




Victoria's Secret

   perfect at the bottom of the ocean
              a serious malfunction                      hope
           tragedy community
         salvaged bodies are recovered
                 suffering families

insurance claims killed all the other ones
                 traces on nightbeat embedded
                            treasure mecca
homeless jobs at the tourist attractions stable
                       plan implement remains combination
                                 fire olympics
                         day and night tuned
                                   to the tv
                   clearly we're a little bit happier
                                     at the pool

                     ice-cream vendors win this time





screwing blind lines
                                        fuck the girls
get stepped on
wish the sky would die
red white and bled-blue

because they bother me
the newspapers
                                          don't say anything
black and white
most people own color
TV's

i donšt even like it here
