Poetry Contest Winner: ding ding by Faith Almond

ding ding!

church bells ring. everyone gather, worship

whoever you want, i guess.

ding ding!

someone's at the door.

selling you something you don't need.

maybe it's a vacuum, might as well check.

ding ding!

the oven timer goes off.

don't let the meatloaf burn!

get off the couch and take it out already.


ding ding!

the church bells ring.

someone died, everyone come

suffer together over a person you barely knew.

ding ding!

someone's at the door.

dang it, it's the police

a lawyer will be provided if you can't afford one.

ding ding!

the oven timer goes off

let the body burn.

the police just theft, they'll never find it
