THIS BAG IS NOT A TOY by Howie Good

While great thinkers
are thinking great thoughts,
I’ve been searching
for the goldfish I won
at the carnival as a kid

and carried around
the rest of the night
in a clear plastic bag.

The student interns
only seem to be helping.

I recommend that we spread out.

Somewhere near here
there’s a suicide bomber
in a dynamite vest,

and the persistent hum
of free downloads,

and me being me.
