Lost and Found


by Anthony M. Powers


Liz found a job back home
helping nursing students get their GEDs
that came with full benefits,
including the chance to move out of her parent's house.
Geoff found a place to live in Boston
with some friends from high school
who are letting him sublet
and play guitar or bass in a couple of their bands.
Christian found a nude beach in Hawaii
where he learned to surf
while on a long vacation
for his parents 25th anniversary.
Adrienne found her calling in Africa
feeding poor children
or whatever the fuck you do
when you're in the Peace Corps.
Katie found a liquor store in New York City
strategically placed on the ground floor
of her dorm at NYU
while attending the publishing institute there.

I found the remote control and 17 cents
under the couch at my parents house.
