The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for May 1999


ah poetry

the ides of April pass
without a
rhyme, the modems
mull and whistle

negotiating time

    and
modulation, the
coppermile delivers
trembling
    amplitude to cooler
photon fiber,
    
the enterprise
is vast, the
storage of another verse
a trickle of
magnetic
north and south
a few rotations of
delay

a poem for May today

i shape the letters
in rough outline
as i scribble
and type again
and finally
put

where few will see but
all who read may
pass

    these seconds
with me
