Jason Visconti: “Dressing Up”


Dressing Up

What is the God doing in that oddball hat,
tilted so his brows hint at some wisdom,
I never signed up for heaven’s scraps,
this is the camouflage that disturbs Creation,
mannequins get more fanfare than that.

About the Author: Jason Visconti has attended both group and private poetry workshops. His work has appeared in various journals, including “Blazevox”, “Valley Voices”, and “The American Journal of Poetry”. He especially enjoys the poetry of Pablo Neruda and Billy Collins.
