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
How about a quick massage now, he said to me.
I don’t think it’s cool, I replied.
I often tell women’s secrets to men
He is in the mountains and in the streams, fields
Call upon the Lord Ganesha and he
will appear
Even in the rain the wall
is a molecule of me?
I have gone on, to still another one, a young
french girl she is this time, my wife did not bear my child
and I knew it.
Futility is echo
in the giant chasm’s
breath
As fate would have it, I showered
at the time, late in the morning.
The evidence of certain postulates pooled around.
The Passion plays
its faces, all of Christ, after being scourged.
Christ the lamb swings from a felled tree.
In the end, when the doctors circle around
like doctors, they can find nothing wrong,
This sixth circle is not a place to receive
many accolades, peopled with the likes found
in the backgrounds of famous paintings.
