Poem of the Day
Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.

Noon
Midnight
Shit is said in all the corners of the universe
There are books filled with nothing but descriptions of sunsets
Around here the countryside is one of the most beautiful in North America
The immense sheet of the lake is an almost white blue
Some very mean people have just blown up the bridge
You said if you write me
Don’t type everything
Add a line in your own hand
Christ
Here it’s been more than a year since I thought of You
Down in the valley you see that telegraph line whose rectilinear path cuts through the forest on the mountain across the way
All the poles are made of iron
The guillotine is the masterpiece of plastic art
Small girls with gaudy flowers
flash down the bare walk road
First Samish Bay
then all morning, hunting oysters
