ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I like to think 
I write things down 

so that others can see 
they're not alone 
in this mission, 

but truth 
be told, I use poems 
like friction—

to slow 
my roving mind 

with the scrape 
of repetition 

and to run interference 
on my snowy disposition 

with the heat 
from my body's conflicting 
experience.
