Res Pond

i'm dumb
founded

found in
nineteen

sixty but
i lost my

self some
where a

long
the

way for
i tao ted

my own
abilities

and instead
of flowing

like a
stream

i became
a stagnant

pond with
an algea

beard
with no

rippling
water

because
before i

laid down
to float i

forgot
to turn

on the
water

fall
