Whatta by Ricky Garni

This child is so great I want to throw him up in the air.
He’s so great we all want to throw this child in the air.
It’s time for this wonderful little boy to go to heaven
for three seconds only and then land safely four feet
above the earth, in arms and then, soft grass or
marshmallows.

Ricky Garni was born in Miami and grew up in Florida and Maine. He works as a graphic designer by day and writes music by night. COO, a tiny collection of short prose printed on college lined paper with found materials such as coins, stamps and feathers, was recently released by Bitterzoet Press.
