Am I merely being
sarcastic
when I say I'm self-
critical?
Never mind.
Let's all play Twitter
or
Emily Dickinson?
It's harder
than it looks
to cling
to spontaneity
to remain caustic
in gray-scale
and every minute
to beget a little stanza
about how
money language
memory love
family—
even grim death—
can each
fail us
so thrillingly.
