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.

You may flaunt my looseness, you know
that I go whole weeks without, so, I
get depressed because I’m so easily distracted
Oh snows of only two months ago!
when will you fall back up into the sky
and fall down again like an airplane?
I never seem to hear much, except Tschaikovsky.
What’s the matter with me, especially on Saturday
afternoon? it seems that there’s a park nearby
Do you mean that
my gaze is not a look
and my clothes decide
Shall I come to see
plum blossoms in every stream
and wet my sleeves
The town’s southeastern edge.
Tolbiac Bridge down there.
Endless freight terminal.
When the movie theatre closed
we decided to stay.
It was depressing, at first,
Wedding night
Graciela bled lightly—
But enough to stain his thighs—
