Poem of the Day
1981
By Asiya Wadud
in a world the orange sun resets
in a world the orange sun resets
Else everyone leaving leave to say
What sway would, not that urnal
Bishops, jarred as lurid tenses

Anticipated reversals occur in unanticipated locations: avoid planar surfaces. As Saturn and Pluto come into alignment, prepare for irrepressible nostalgia. Casual attachments provide a medley of diversions from long-term fantasies. Mix of sulfur and magnesium is at its height on the twelfth and twenty-ninth: stay clear of disarticulating headwinds while remaining open to miscalibrated address. Seek pine- and coconut-flavored dishes. Preferred alcohol: Anisette (neat).
Summer so histrionic, marvelous dirty days
is not genuine it shines forth from the faces
littered with soup, cigarette butts, the heavy
It’s very interesting
Weighing 500 lbs
You might even say, “it’s great!”
It’s New Year’s Eve, of 1968, & a time
for Resolution.

lovely, as always
What to do
when the days’ heavy heart
having risen, late
That air is you, your breathing
and I am lost in the ringing elevator
sweeping me to the top
Red-faced and romping in the wind
I too am reading the technical journals, but
Keeping Christmas-safe each city block
