Deer In Headlights Poem by Marcus Bowman

Contemplate. Plate. Tempt. Con.
Tectonic. Shift. Tech. Tonic.
Gin. Rum. Cotton. Rummie.
Dummy. What is poetry?
Do we stop to think about that?
About it? What it means?
Do we ever stop? Can we?
Should we if we could?
Foodie. Hoodie. Goodie.
Two shoes. A pair of pants.
A pear. A pant suit. A white home.
Geodome. Thermo. Thermos.
Cattle. A deer; home among jaguars.
Several deer. Headlights. Your car.
Is it us?
