3 Poems Jessy Randall





Rich People's Umbrellas


Rich people's umbrellas
look different from my umbrellas.
They have fancier umbrellas.
They have cats and other shit on their umbrellas.
Like sometimes I see umbrellas
with little cats holding little umbrellas
on them. This makes me want to take all the umbrellas
and stick them up the rich people’s
umbrellas.





Potato Fingers

A disappointed and singed tale climbs over
potato fingers, sticky porcupine quills
(someone spilled Kool-Aid on the porcupine)
and falls into a pool of what’s so obvious:

first spring days, before I ever knew you
when the air smells like melting snow and
the kids run out of school to the buses







Fat Arms Haiku
