Is Your Economy Strong?

Mikel K was voted Best Atlanta Poet, the last two years in a row, by readers of Creative Loafing, Atlanta's weekly newspaper.




You can't run from yesterday.
You can't accurately predict tomorrow.
The cereal that they feed our children
is bad for them.
The food that they feed us is bad for
us, but it's o.k., though we may die early,
the economy is strong.
