Tom Hatch- A Poem

Conversation

When I talk to you

Sometimes with the 

Whole picture of Bruegel or Bosch   

It goes unnoticed you

Only see what can

Be seen through 

A keyhole of the damned

Never the whole picture

Of the multitude and attitude 

That are the damned 

In the room 

With the opened door

Bio;

Tom paid his dues in the SoHo art scene way back when. He was awarded two NEA grants for sculpture back then. And taught at various colleges and universities in the NYC metro area in art (including Princeton and U of Penn. in Philly). He feels he is a regular at The Camel Saloon and BoySlut and Dead Snakes. He has published at The Mind[less] Muse, Jellyfish Whispers, Napalm and Novocain, Rusty Truck and Pyrokinection among others. He has recently had a poem nominated for The Best on The Net. He lives in CT with a few farms up and down the road works in Manhattan. His train ride to and from NYC is his solace, study and den where it all begins and ends.
