local_library Duck Soup

by Patty Mooney

Published in Issue No. 14 ~ July, 1998

For dinner Charles makes soup
out of canned vegetables, he
falls drunk inside
soft carrots and novaed barley.

I sleep through,
imagining him lost
to the 20-Val Club.

Walking midnight
I find in his bowl of cold
soup street lamps illuminating
his potato sleep.
