at the old poets' clinic

at the old poets' clinic

 

 

there is a thought out in the waiting room

reading National Geographic

thinking how dull is non-fiction

 

when there is love to write about

and peace

and friendship

 

and love

and love

 

and then the voice over the intercom

breaks the silent train's track

 

"the poet will see you now"---

This really sparks the imagination about what’s going on at that clinic, who the poet is, what the thought is,… and it’s funny at the same time

[jacob erin-cilberto]
