Joshua Bohnsack: Who Cares? Your Heroes Are Dead

Special FeaturerbdFebruary 13, 2017Joshua Bohnsack, special feature, poetry

Tourists

Tourists come to Chicago to shop at Target
I take the train
And pretend I know
Where I’m going.

Check my phone like somebody
wanted to talk to me
Turn around
Correct the error.

What some guy on the ‘L’ told me and I couldn’t shake it.

Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are dead.
Who cares? Your heroes are

Adam Hughes: Discovery Channel

Adam Hughes is the author of four full-length poetry collections, most recently Allow the Stars to Catch Me When I Rise (Salmon Poetry, 2017) and Deep Cries Out to Deep(Aldrich Press, 2017). Born and raised in Central Ohio, he now resides in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains where he is pursuing an MFA at Randolph College. Should you google him, he is not the Adam Hughes who draws near-pornographic depictions of female superheroes. This particular Adam Hughes cannot draw.
