PerseidsI have gone to great lengths to avoid crushing a tiny fly between the pages of this book. Infinitesimal gnat, he did not need to raise his 6 black shoes one slight scintilla to step right over any of these big ideas. Last night, I put myself under the stars and let them fall down on me. I grow more daring, practicing for my next thousand years. Notice, there is nothing in this poem about you. |
