free verse
He dines ALONE, book in hand
writing writing writing
Does he notice the game?
ANESTRI, ANTSIER, NASTIER
Can he play Scrabble? The two who can
RATINES, RETAINS, RETINAS
agonize over their tiles
RETSINA, STAINER, STEARIN
one is puzzled.
CRASH!
Shatter shards
oceans of water
oceans of glass
This napkin-gift
salves no WOUNDS here
Time, the illusion, passes
He talks of statues
with friends
and points to the SKY.
WHOOSH!
A speeding cyclist tears through traffic
like chaos itself
There is nothing NEW under the sun.
