The Redmond Challenge: Assignment #4
Your assignment is to write a poem which makes vigorous use of changes of scale.
We Had This Thing
We had this thing
where
I would feign
something important
having prospects
learning from my mistakes
being a good provider
and you would genuflect
but nothing substantial
ever came.
We had this thing
a small incision
then laceration
then defenestration
and you made a joke
about how small my
sense of humor was
and we laughed
and made love
but nothing substantial
ever came.
