Skeleton commercials
dandruff turning angry
throw shampoo on it

Joshua Burns owes a lot to William & Mary, especially for his previous publication in The Gallery and indirectly for his forthcoming publication in elimae and for his other poem about commercials at fortunates.org. His artistic sensibilities would not exist were it not for his roommates, including those who stayed only a week, his teachers, or his roommate’s hardcore T-shirts. He intends to repay them all by maintaining a good publishing record and pursuing an MFA at whichever of the many locations that accepts his highly anticipated application.
