Number 3 of the 3 poems in this year's issue of Muse and Stone. (Some line spacing has been altered during the copy/paste process to this post)
Tours at 4
Museum of Farm Art:
Come to my right.
Now,
Now you will be able
to properly appreciate
this old washbasin.
It is one of eleven
red models crafted
at the hay-day of Hanley’s
Oasis Mart on Plumb Ave.
Note the purple celery stalk
on the underside of the basin.
The creator, Garrison Hanley,
intended the celery to be
a metaphor of his wife’s
stigmata
some nine years prior.
No, there will be no questions
at this time.
Museum space is limited
so please disregard
the photographs of the winking
crayfish and continue down the hall
to your left.
