Poetry from Taylor Dibbert

Ghost Town

He got on Tinder
Thinking there 
Might be some
Awkward moments
Or mildly 
Exciting times, 
Or things
Unfolding in a
Notable way
But he must 
Be doing 
Something wrong
Because it
Turns out
That there’s
Not a lot
Happening
On Tinder,
At least 
Not for him,
Who knew
That looking
For love in 
The wrong place
Could be 
So uneventful.
