Patrick Sweeney


Four one-line poems


elbows estranged on the same side of the booth

ф

only to get to the end of the falling leaf

ф

somehow I'd forgotten    Emmett Kelly swept the spotlight under the rug

ф

no matter what I say she can't accept a masterpiece done with a turkey baster

Patrick Sweeney is a long-in-the-tooth writer of the insignificant, and a devoted student of birds and cloud formations.
