Two Poems
By Mallory Coppenrath.
i want to sleep but you’re outside my window
ice cream cone deer went to defiance, ohio
to see them
but the drunk people outside of his car were loud
the entire way
he stuck his hoof out and knocked one of their faces off
into a pile of grass or something
the drunk people ran away and grunted
and said something about a frat house
and then date raped
and the ice cream cone deer nodded
and started humming to himself or herself
and tapped the hoof on the car
and got to the show on time
and went backstage
reasons to go to the dam
you can take really good pictures at the dam
and usually see a couple arguing or something
just kidding
everyone is generally in love when they are there
and there are a lot of leaves right now
it is autumn almost
and there are lots of bikers there
who like to watch the sunset
mostly it is nice there
