2010/bangles

Pronouncements are like
jewelry, you should
take something off
before you leave the house.
If you are a poem,
or disguised as one,
such as this, take off
three pieces at least,
the bangles up the arm
won’t do.
Leave three things on the
foyer table before you
go. Recall your
humble birth,
don’t put on airs,
back of the hand to the
forehead,
don’t swoon or faint.
As Carolyn See so ably said
no one cares if you write
or not.
