***BIO*** Dan Provost: My poetry has appeared in publications like Spent Meat, Sock Monkey, Niderngasse, Babel Magazine, Half Drunk Muse and many others.  My e-chapbook "The Fat Girl on Belmont Street" was published by Spent Angel Press. I am passing around my second Chapbook; "Observing Life while Drinking Rat Milk" to publishers hoping someone will accept it.

What Are the Poets Whining About?
by Dan Provost
Lines of people
wait for food
at the local homeless shelter
as I drive to my job.

Lynyrd Skynyrd blares out
of my used cassette player.

Ronnie singing something
about a Wino.

Some real wino gives
me the finger as he hears
the music booming.

Waiting for his food.

Waiting for his last chance of life.

And Sylvia Plath thought she had it bad.
