getting tired of workshop
| quotes | music | fiction | verse | ||
| tasty bits | recordings | stories | poetry |
rolling across the landscape aimlessly.
Some poems hang like dirty laundry
although the metaphor is intended to be invisible.
And once crushed,
it takes patient determination to unfold a poem.
If stretched tightly across the drum,
with the excess pulled off the side
a poem will be airtight,
and keep things fresh
unless poked by inept fingers.
