Poetry: Amanda Deboer Bartlett

Knock Knock

It’s the version of you before the
disorganized phenomenon
your Real Life
driving anywhere
through the sweet corn 

romanticizing another man’s job
romanticizing yourself   
like the things we do every day
like any Everyman

would, emerging to another 
new smell
the lovely dark on 
or under any rock

-Amanda Deboer Bartlett
