Pushcart Nominees
I LEFT MY FRONT DOOR OPEN LAST NIGHT
I was hoping
for someone with compassion,
perhaps death
or someone with
a long rich life with interesting
stories
I was longing for
someone with the slight odor of
whiskey
with a basketful of kittens without
homes or sight
a basket with just enough room
for another
