John F. McCullagh Poems

Section J Row 4 Grave 25

Memorial Day,1945
...

Things are getting better,
Except of course they’re not.
The bailouts have worked miracles
with business gone to pot.
...

The American Cremation society
Is offering 'hot deals'” this week.
We get pitches for Pfizer's viagra
by snail mail, on Facebook, by Tweet.
...

The people massed at Lincoln Park
upon election Eve.
...

On my fingers, on my tongue-
Your taste a sweet and pleasing one.
I unwrap you greedily
And nibble on you speedily.
...

There’s a stranger in my house
...

The problem with “Heaven on Earth”
...

A Prehistoric Dragon Fly

Encased in amber, on display
...

(Murder of Wild Bill Hitchcock,08/02/76)

He tossed it down upon the bar,
...

The aging champion kissed its stones
and waved to all his fans.
At Swilcan bridge across the burn,
As twilight fast descends.
...
