A Day of Short Poems

“Scantly-published in life, JD Salinger is set to become prolific in death”. 

This is Tuesday
and a day of short poems.
Salinger spoke to me
and said that it is better
to not be so prolific.

He should know,
having set the pace,
and attained a measured glory
with a certain story.
