day EIGHT HUNDRED and TWO


the patriot

sleeping on the
evening subway train

his legs spread like canyons

sitting there
taking up two seats

with a t-shirt
spread over his fat belly

emblazoned with old glory

that says
i stand for the flag

as the pregnant woman
standing over him

daydreams america
and a cure for sore feet.

--John Grochalski
