Too Long

Vandal Poem of the Day: September 10, 2021

 by Andrea Cohen

 Too long at the fair, the song
 laments. No one sings

 of hanging around too
 long at the hospital.

 Someone kept getting
 stale coffee in paper

 cups, someone kept
 punching a vending

 machine, as if another
 hour might come out.
