3 Poems by Ian Fishman & Timothy Michalik






Till I Drink Milwaukee Dry

Centuries pass but I’m in heaven.
My beer never ends.
Pauline drinks without me on a planet close but.
When sunglasses were invented I was king.
Dogs brought gifts of sticks to me.
Now I’m 10,000.
It’s mostly air where I am.
Pauline I love those sticks.
I need those sticks.





Crown 

If his lady blinded him 
I would too. 
Clouds snail through my air. 
My toes dig your shoes. 
Nice work. 
I crown myself twice. 
I love air when it’s not air. 
Now his lady invades the line to my crown. 
It is painful to watch. 
At home I love couch. 
At work I love chair. 





Don’t Go to That

It’s almost time.
I can’t go yet.
You should believe this.
My door won’t close.
I’m sailing away.
Can you go now.
My voice is hiding.
Behind my mouth.
Can you close my door?
It’s open.









A note about the collaboration:

So we were in love with the chase. Every single word was like ding-dong-ditch. Each poem we wrote we wrote by alternating words. We were tired of getting stuck behind a tractor. It went accordingly.



Ian Fishman was born in Holyoke, MA. He loves you.

Timothy Michalik was born in Michigan.
