The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for November 2010
trying to cut and
paste a poem out of
the early morning
as he
lay on the day
bed the windows
open to let in the
cool
air
trying to appreciate
where he was as
the church bells
rang
in another
day
and someone in
the pool
quietly
splashed
through
trying as he
waited for the
full day to ring out
to
figure out if his
fat throat was
allergy or illness
trying
as
the car
alarm on the other side
of the hotel is
mixed into the
urban
rush
and when the
high warble
stops
it's as if there were
silence
and he stops
trying
