This Is Just To Say
I have enrolled
my books
that are on
Smashwords
and which
you were possibly
eyeing
in July’s sale
Peruse them
they are fantasy
so sweet
and so droll

Practical to the end,
it is the poem
of his existence
that triumphed
finally;
a wisp of feathers
flattened to the pavement,
wings spread symmetrically
as if in flight,
the head gone,
the black escutcheon of the breast
undecipherable,
an effigy of a sparrow,
a dried wafer only,
left to say
and it says it
without offense,
beautifully;
This was I,
a sparrow.
I did my best;
farewell.

Can prob blame that #espresso I had with supper last night…
I'm sorry I drank
that espresso
that I ordered
after dinner last night
and which I probably
should have saved
for breakfast.
It was delicious,
so dark and
bitter and hot

Ol' Billy thought he might try some.
They were cold,
And so sweet,
He devoured the suite!
Now for breakfast, his friend will have none.

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
it's election day
I'm losing my shit over here

(Winds that enshroud us in their folds—or no wind). So be it. Pull at the doors, of a hot afternoon, doors that the wind holds, wrenches from our arms—and hands. So be it. The Library is sanctuary to our fears. So be it.” NJ born and bred #WilliamCarlosWilliams from the poem Paterson. Just sayin’. #poetry
