Obscenity Poem by RIC BASTASA

Obscenity



Cristina Davis says:

She said, I love you.

He said, Nothing.


(As if there were just one
of each word and the one
who used it, used it up) .


In the history of language
the first obscenity was silence.

This nobody says:

what was obscene really
what was said first
before the silence.
