a poem by Robert Zajkowski:

I thought
just as well
someone has to
and said "thanks"
for the offer
of more
lumpy gravy
but you see
I have had all
the lumpy gravy
I can stand

the sun melted
the ice off my eyes
then the sun
left me for darkness
and I slipped
on the frozen puddles
into an ocean
of sharks like me
who carry and nestle
with delicate flowers
in the deep
where we swallow
the reflection of stars
and dream
forever dream
of a surface
not broken by rain
