Did You Crash My Charles Ray: A Poem by Zachary Swezy

1 min read

Doggerel for Charles Ray

My mother came home from work one day
She said, did you crash my Charles Ray?

Ma, I did not crash your car sculpture
It came like that, ask the sculptor

Why have this crash on display,
If all it does is cause dismay?

Can’t we sell it to someone cultured,
Or is the piece truly vulgar?


Author: Zachary Swezy is a fiction writer and poet living in Chicago. He has published work with Hobart, HAD, Burial Magazine, and others.
