2 september



not mean
to mean what is to be said
to read what’s red, underlined
easily allowed for a loud door slam
shut like the past
(blasting farther away with every
second thought—
I’ll just take that back—
as if you could…)

the hardest time of the year
clear enough for windows
gearing up for—what?
                                What do others do now
                                when not sharpening pencils
                                three-hole-punching
                                keeping trappers
                                supplying the syllabi

regroup! we troops of one!

today a lesson taught: listening
a lesson learned: listening
