Two Poems

Evan Nicholls

LONGEST SAUSAGE

We pull over to look at the world’s longest sausage. The sign says it originally started as a roadside attraction. At the world’s longest sausage, people are lined up forming the world’s longest line. Bearing the sausage on their shoulders. Whenever you are hungry, you take a small bite from a different place. Forget the car, which is now a grassy hill with a bison on the hood. When we step into line, we are naturally ordered. We meet our neighbors. Smile at stray dogs. Sleep standing up.

 

 

 

SANS SORENESS SOON

Hit by the popemobile,
you will be sans soreness soon.
