My poem "Instrumental" in The Gambler

I'm happy to learn my poem "Instrumental" is in the February issue of The Gambler Mag. I originally wrote "Instrumental" (with a different title) in September 2012, the month my wife and I moved to Cleveland. Our new place was (and is) at the corner of W. 105th Street and Fidelity Avenue.  I dug the poem out recently while compiling my forthcoming Scrap Mettle book, made a few final revisions last month, and submitted it to the first submissions call I saw on my Facebook news feed (which was for The Gambler).
