Poem of the Day
Study of Children
By Asha Futterman
did you know
that you all work for me?
I asked them as a joke
did you know
that you all work for me?
I asked them as a joke
A little
water
falls.
Is hunger
only automatic
appetite?
The ancient customs of a gracious people
Listen to the window be
Cause you can see through it
Orange suns chain across the sky
Sound a brake followed nothing it’s flower withers between ninety-two cobblestones.
the glance is filtered in the plaited reflection of glass buildings
That is why uprooted fields meandered in the midst of roads
Nothing is left but the pyramids.
How heavy the stones of the pyramids are!
I cannot tell you when, where
in what city or time
I saw this crime.
