Two Poems
Drew Kalbach

there are dogs breeding in the fireplace

there are dogs breeding in the fireplace
there are dogs breeding in the chimney
it takes some broken eggs to make a hybrid-electric car
it takes some broken eggs to make a skyscraper
our clothes are rotting like moths
our clothes are rotting like cheese
take another card we'll be with you in a moment


people move their cars

there needs to be another race
where nobody wins and everybody leaves
with brand new sunglasses
you look outside for perfect strangers
people move their cars
