a bad no good poem

so much
depended on
that red wheelbarrow
the rain & the chickens

but the rain stopped
& the chickens fit into
cooking pots & then
into our bellies
the red barrow broken

& now there are
skeletal chicken remains
a rusty wheelbarrow
& a brown dry
yard &
that's all
there

is

Q: Why did the chickens go to the other side of the road in a red wheel barrow?

A: So disgruntled could stand in the rain and write a bad, no good poem.
