Plain White Tissue Poem by James McLain

it was only because of the way
you did it to me
keeping the main subsection
always in the middle
while your friends
and where you found such friends
that and that they are civil
swelling each cluing over
at each other never
though until
and working each one
independently of each other
while you always
as always you could and
never changing the subject
while being not distracted
always bringing the conversation
to each successful
conclusion
while your friends always being
happy ever being ratified
at your diplomacy
running up both sides with
plain white tissue
because of all the tears.
