Things I'd Put in a Fanny-Pack / Sonnet
by Ryan Gallagher

a black ink pilot precise
rolling-ball-point pen, a cell
phone, Tylenol, a joint,
raisins, Frank

O’Hara’s Lunch Poems, a few
different pencils and a green
plastic sharpener, a note-
book, handkerchief, playing

cards, keys, pocket
knife, a glue stick, a pair
of shoelaces, dental
floss and Dante, a few sheets of t.p.,

a nip of bourbon, a handful
of Valium and some cyanide
