Chlor Ide-For Maureen Mcgreavy

more reen
i miss sting
ing in my
red eyes

from perhaps
too much swim
ming in your
poetry

but i did try
wearing googles
and it was worse
then google

every word had
a sales tag on
something special
but i didn't especially

like that much
i just want to
as crazy as it
might sound

touch your words
for i know that
every word
choosen

is not
darwinian
selection of
the strongest

and fittest but
how you choose
the perfect word
though awkwardly

fits
the
finish
of your

poem
