Glen Martin Fitch Poems

For all the times 
I made you ill at ease,  
for all the times 
I showed up unannounced,
...

I stared and thought,
“How small, how strange, how plain.'
Details my memory
knew so well and
...

With snapping tails
while swimming around and round
they each explore
the kingdom of their sphere.
...

You had no choice.
It's I who set you free.
'Cause I'm the jerk
who turns the green lights red,
...

I had a constant daydream.
I could see a task
I knew would call
upon my skill.
...

I'm not sure you'll get this.
I'm not sure I care.
As if you care!
Who knows?
...

I took you at face value,  
though unknown.
But if you count 
each sacrifice I've made,
...

A blind man told me
what he thought of sight.
“As if you open up a Russian doll
and place each front to back.
...

You could have told me what you wanted.
You could have told me what made you mad.
You could have told me how I've failed you.
You could have saved the love we had.
...

'We won't get lost.'
he says and I,
'Or sink? Or drown? '
I trust him.
...
