This poem is like a school photo forced into posterity whether worthy or not. It was written because, well, writing is a pattern of behavior, a discipline for its own sake.

Sure.

Yeah.  Let me just

whip out another

Universal Truth

like it were but

another loose tooth

in the gap of

an eight-year old’s

smile…

When

we know nearly

nothing at all’s

certain on this earth,

we smile closed-mouthed

for what it’s worth

against the flash

and think for a

while…

(1998)
