I wanted to do the right things.
Pull the spit back into my mouth.
Scrape the gum-chewed secretes
off the bottoms of the chairs.
Drag the dumb, go-along laughs
out of the air.
– Marc Smith, “i wanted to be”
Watch Marc Smith read some of his poetry:
Poster for Marc Smith & Tony Fitzpatrick at the Poetry Center of Chicago, 2011.
The pensive Daddy-O, cool on the patio,
Stares at the silver moon
Blowin’ out a why?
But the silver moon laughs
Dancin’ with the dipper spoon
Says, “Nobody’s gonna catch
The spirit in the sky.”
– Marc Smith, “Daddy-O on the Patio”
