New poem for Sunday...a cowboy in New York: Whu...What??

Inspired by Teri McGrath's excellent blog post urging us to look for poets that may not have the stamp of "OFFICIAL POET" but still should be read, I remembered a poem that knocked me down in a small online lit mag, 3rd Muse. The poem, "Saw You, Want You." The poet, Sarah J. Sloat. Sloat's poem is short and powerful. It begs to be read several times. Please enjoy it and tip the delivery boy or girl. And keep the hippie poncho on. It rocks.


This selection is a staff selection even though we don't have a staff exactly. It's just that to label it as selected by "staff" makes me feel important when I'm typing it out. Yeah.
