Trio No. 18

1.

Look at this. 

This thing that you did not create, 

That you did not conceive of and did not build. 

That no one built, that no one can feel

Or hear or taste. 

Only see. 

2. 

Men are round. 

Women are round. 

So who can tell the difference between the two?

3. 

A list of objects and compound objects. 

Various plastic bits, some very sharp. 

A stone that might be green. 

A stone that might be blue. 

A camera case of old, cracked leather. 

Pants on the line. 

A friend's phone, left behind, but safe. 

A pink rubber ball; you know the kind. 

A broken fender. 

A spot of burned flesh. 

A crayon.
