To ------

a modernist
reads between the lines
of a poem other
than the one she's reading
then reads a portion
of a bio of someone alluded to
there is a chant perhaps
in her head
as above so below
but the modernist eschews bifocals
articles continue to disappear
she is not happy
with her latest     she forgot
to mix it up
good stuff
on bottom
i like that
she thinks

i like to think of it as a mango, but it has nothing to do with it really. make-believe mango maybe. ys, i too enjoy a good font every now and then. back to work now.

there's usually no sense in explaining no matter what, Tasheeeee. it's a plot to stop us from blowing our minds. i saw it on Penn and Teller.
