Featured Poem 1/10/04
MONDAY
Under-toasted English muffin
Heaped with Crest
Multi-tasking
Breakfast and
Dental hygieneFresh brewed coffee
Strained through Dad's
World War II socks
Never washed
He was superstitiousThe Gremlin starts nicely
When pushed down hill
And clutch popped in secondCrowded downtown
Jail construction
Will need twice as many
When cloning Negroes
(I'm sorry—people of color)
Becomes perfectedParked six blocks from work
Live five blocks from work
There's something wrong
With this lifeNine-hour elevator ride to the third floor
"My week-end was fine"
"Who won what game?"
"No. It is not cold enough for me
I can still feel my knees"
"Have a nice day"
