I should never do that. I don't know where epigram ends and poem
begins, but Po Chu-I was sitting nearby.
LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL
Young boys flail and triumph and fall
Fathers shout as though they understood.
TORTURE
The joy of the thumbscrew is the blessed second
when they are released
before the pain returns, anew.
ASKING
When I know what it is to be old
I will know I have come to the worst of all ends--
for I will open the door to my tired self.
CHRISTINE
Your forgotten self searches for its name
and, once found, present it to me
to prove how meaningless you've become.
Experimental is all.
