Dirty Blonde. by Wayne F Burke



the woman with dirty blonde
hair
who lives on the floor below
talks on her telephone

won 250.00$ in "rip-off"
tickets
she drank white Russians
her dumb dog gives a loud deep bark
"Mya! Stop that!"

to get ready to go
back to work
and work
while the blonde below

sleeps it off.


Wayne F, Burke's poetry has appeared in a wide variety of publications. He has published five full-length poetry collections, 4 with Bareback Press, and one with Alien Buddha Press. Plus two poetry chapbooks with Epic Rites Press. He lives in the central Vermont area, USA.
