The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for July 2015


QUACK-QUACK

a 'rubber stamp in a cheap frame'™

the ink has faded
     the paper
stained

the frame held
together by dust

the idea, though, still sound
and its memory preserves the maker

like a moment that fades into a photograph
or like
a photograph
that fades into
time
itself
