THE POETRY OF KEVIN OPSTEDAL


As to showing guts to
showing moxie

have no
fear, not
anything with a pulse
can dance and drink straight
no chaser
but later
on, we’re off
to the races
anyway, all gut out

singing with great
moxie, singly I
have no idea
what it really means

something to do, or
something to do with
an attempt at bravado

something to do, or
something to do with
Charles Bukowski

a foul door
a great handle

on things
