Poetry of Issue 9: Fuzzy Circles

Fuzzy Circles

Brooding, waiting to cross correct

the poem that ran out of ink

has a deep, rich backstory

you can dance to and

a new last line

I’m rather enthralled by.

 

 (remember us the better who we are)

 

Humor is essential

given the times we’re in.

Blue tarps bungeed

along the East River.

Shiftless study

pursued w/o looking.

Self made men

 

  (and women, beleaguered)

 

Holding the venom between us,

your American recollection

differs from mine. I get it.

I just can’t cotton how

you get from A to B

w/o God, the cartographer,

drawing fuzzy circles.

 

  (and the skies are not cloudy all day)
