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.
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
I can see the hooked noses of the owls
And this is how it always begins. In
The darkness, everything looking
It rests on tiny roots, a vision of angles,
And lives long.
It has no passion for gossip and little need for the usual,
To keep his blessed armor hard he ate
lean meat, cruciferous greens, few
grains. He liked his instants
we called the game Jenny made up driving
back roads through West Virginia
at twice the speed on signs. Foot on
Poor Collins sung the gradual, waiting,
Praying for Eve to arrive. And, while bidding
For her, sure of failure,
We had been looking at an idol in a glass case,
size of a hand, admiring her tough little knobs
and the ball of her belly some barren woman
His Irish accent
He jumps you in the subway
I love you
