Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh

The entrance to the Computer Lab opens like the oak
doors to a suite in the Plaza.
Vast threads of CD-ROM talk spiral around the white
Oh it’s Christmas time in Omaha Nebraska!
“Almost alive” red lips say through the panes.
His blue eye, his brown eye, his chipped ear.
The stream is frozen
except what’s flowing
below what’s frozen.
a “beautiful day”
nothing happened
and nothing was going to happen
& the moon and all stars
you can name
are fantastic!
You are in bed
and Antigone’s dead
once again though offstage
I’m a Keats bot
so are you
The problem of evil
can be brought home
in a classroom
One day Mz N meets a woman
slightly horsefaced
hair a tangle
There’s a woman
walks through me
sits at the table
