Former Chicagoan, Don Pesavento can be seen along the shores of Lake Michigan, writing poems and throwing them to the wind. Don attended the PhD Program for Writers (poetry) at the University of Illinois, Chicago, before receiving his MD from Northwestern. Recent poetry is in Underground Voices and Origami Condom.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
