Another poem written in childhood (teens.)

Listen to poem:

(Another childhood poem)

A pamphlet file in green metallic
thrusts through neon antinight
its cornered self, harsh in glare.
Piers of five-tiered fingers --
shelves -- extend beyond,
in series: a formal pattern,
rectangular and angular.
Artificial electric shine reflects
bland or blatant color.
There are books, some in disarray
in order placement on the shelves.
All:  solid, relentless, inflexible.
And most were made for use
by patterns much more rigid still.

I knew that I was being prepared for something as I read this...and the closing did not disappoint. I love work with this kind of pattern, and of course am so pleased with it here. -Dean
