Notes About The Poem

The book keeper

mops the slush pile,

dusts paragraphs,

adding a vase of clarity

on the table of contents,

creates settings

for the ghost writer

to slow down

run-on sentences,

mends torn sheets -

Oh, tearsheets…

Anyway,

in the end

wraps a nice soft cover

around everything.

Oh, tearsheets…
Anyway,
in the end
wraps a nice soft cover
around everything.
