Rhyme, rhythm, meter.
I don’t know what that means.
I know words.
...
I found this grand thing.
In the gutter, down the street.
It sparkled and purred and sang and nibbled.
...
You sat down; your leg brushed against mine.
It stayed there and I stopped breathing.
You grew stiff, and I knew you were thinking the same thing.
...
I felt the sun on my shoulders;
it was a warm day for December.
A warm year.
...
Things That Matter. Things That Don'T.
Rhyme, rhythm, meter.
I don’t know what that means.
I know words.
Feelings.
Taste.
Touch.
Love.
I know the river at sunrise.
And the smell of pepper.
Things that matter.
Things that don’t.
