the poet at the window
does not see
his words spun from dusty air
thick with the scent of literature
on shelves
a taste
of what he could have read
he coughs
and carries more meaning than a lifetime
of scratching
The newspaper in town publishes his work
out of pity
(and lack of truth)
manufacturing illusion
on the presses that publish
The Informer
the child
that took the paper from under-neath the coffee mug this morning
reads with quiet awe
underneath the covers
his child's mind
assigning worlds to empty words
-san
