Poem: "A Position of Defeat 5"
5.
not in the
category of the sun,
the school
of traffic signals yet still blinks
at what the
five-vehicle pile-up thinks
of Cyclops
and his rock hurled at no one
i take
another road, a way around
the bloody
questions and the shattered limbs
a basketball
racing the metal rim
before it
swerves and falls crashing down
though i am
fast-insured against dust mite
to circumscribe
the right amount of wrong
i cannot
throw off in a playsome song
the burden
of the wrong amount of right
