The provocativeness of close reading triggers
a memory that will prove your undoing . . .
Still, it's a wonderful life, yes? . . .
Clouds retreat in joy to the core of a volcano
on a remote island in a sea of forget-me-nots . . .
A sidelong glance from before glimmers . . .
You, in the moment, spend the rest of your allotment
running lines from award-winning one-acts
hoping, if nothing else, for a takeaway . . .
