    UNDERSTANDING

    “Do you understand me” I say
    I look him in the eye
    The boy is mad at mama
    “I understand”
    “Will you say you’re sorry?”
    He looks into me and breathes deep:
    “My bunny wants to say goodbye to mama.

    And I wonder:
    what does the bunny have in store for me?

    Interesting...

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
