the world exists
in front of you
with luck
a peripheral sight
expands you
enough to bend
back upon your vision
to create a new sense
of self that can see
how great a fool you are
–
Work
sing
shuffle your feet
another day is done
–
another dance
before the night is through
circle slowly
around the room
think again
what might have been
(from “Sonnet,” a work in progress: syllables 8, 9 and 10: line 2)
