when the Pulitzer Prize
winning poet paused
to take a sip
from his glass of water
the old man struggled
and the plastic black straw
slid up his nose
and the wealthy white women
giggled mercilessly
Sean William Lynch is a poet from New Jersey who was born in 1992. Lynch's first book of poems "the city of your mind" was published in 2013 by Whirlwind Press. Frank Sherlock, the poet laureate of Philadelphia, called Lynch's debut poetry book "visionary." CA Conrad claimed that the book was "marvelous!" S.W. Lynch's writing has been featured in numerous publications online and in print, including Milkfist, Poetry Quarterly, and Tincture Journal.
Those wealthy white women–and so many of us have to depend on them.
