Duluth, MN

Duluth, there is a big lake up there.
Place where memories are lost and shared.
City’s wealth is gone.
Downtown makes one yawn.
Despite flaws, being mugged is rare.

Folklore: The troll named Bro

The people go by so fast.
The gold in my chest doesn’t last.
I plead for them to stop.
As if I were a cop.
A troll on government dole, avast!
