The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for March 1999
i read to pass
the time
my vitality
depends
on fear of
silence
empty brain
a careful plan
orchestrated
filled with
little failures
small successes
a trip through the day
like turning pages
moving
event to event
some surprises
some guesses
small plans
solutions
choices
poetry a surprise
on the best of days
forced labor
on the worst
inside me
me speaking
(perhaps not
busy enough)
i live to
pass the
time counting
the pages left
