This is a small poetry club that started as a poetry email exchange between two friends. Our goal is to read a poem everyday, and this blog is one way to help keep us accountable. There is only one valid rule in poetry club: there are no rules in poetry club. Read any poem, in any order, with any or no interactions. You decide. We only suggest you read poetry!
I read it as a sarcastic comment. I love the starting with and. As if the narrator is blaming imaginary dead people for his problems or in response to a friends complaints. Below is what I envision:
1st Dude: Man, being a white guy is so hard. Half my check goes to taxes to pay for lazy people. I might have to sell my jet skies. Can't catch a break these days. 2nd Dude: And the ghosts, they own everything.
Who are the Ghosts? And what do they own?
