At A Bar In Newport Poem by Dean Hall

At A Bar In Newport



Wondering how dull a blade can get

before it is no blade at all


dulled from sticking sand

from trying to scrape death signs from dead walls

from opening and closing for no reason.


She said, "I love it."


I said, "What is it that you love? "


She said, "The first ice cube of the day I get to chew."


I wonder

how dull a blade can get

before it is no blade at all.
