Mick
Parsons lives and writes in Roselawn, a suburb in the shadow
of Cincinnati, Ohio. When he’s not writing, he teaches
composition part-time at
several area universities, covertly encouraging student
rebellion, and ensuring he will never be hired full time.
He also teaches teen poetry workshops and on occassion,
and sits at home drinking home brew while talking about
"getting out and socializing one of these days."
Mick is currently working to develop and set up The One-Legged
Cow, a small press which is slated to launch April 1st,
2005.

sitting
on the sidewalk, reading ezra pound
In the suburbs,
power lines are choking the dogwood trees. Meanwhile,
a charter bus full of suits rolls into downtown; a well dressed
drunk shows off his scars for a dollar donation;
and I sit cross-legged on the sidewalk reading Ezra Pound,
watching the expensive shoes attached to ironed pant legs
and seamless panty hose walk by
without looking down.
