REMAINDER
DON’T REMAINDER ME
Stanley Kunitz said: Poetry is mythology
telling stories of the soul It’s adventures
in time & in history
The soul dives into a body builds a house for
an Ego Jettisons said Ego Soul now a fugitive
Free of the squalid human Until the next dive
Nothing useful rhymes with motherlode Our
adjectives cloying Our clichés grating But
dare hire a poet if your soul needs saving
