A poem a day in April from Rutgers English PhD students and friends.

II

Do I ever remind you of a racist joke


Wherein hardly known parties betray expectations


And wind up starting an independent brewery


Then sell out at first possible chance


Do you remembering see me


In stonewashed jean cutoffs


With yellowed ear cottons


Punctuating the moon


With finger quotes


I heard it touched you


Like a gag

  1. This poem feels very 90s. Or very Milwaukee. Or at least 2002.
