I Have A Poem Up My Sleeve Peeking Out At You Poem by Rj Williams

I have a Poem Up My Sleeve Peeking Out at You

but just a peek.
It's all about the timing.
The poem asks itself---
'are they ready for me?
I think not.'
And so it dips back in,
behind my exposed wrist.
Playing a kind of peek-a-boo
game...
perhaps pondering
whether the readers
can handle the word play twist.
It is never seen again
the rest of the day.
Just gave a flash-in-the-pan cameo,
now completely gone
back into the author's armpit
cave.
