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

Please Waitress More feebly please! This is
The orangest feebly I have eaten In a long time
Our high school in Omaha
None of us knew it was Weldon Kees
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!
Curmudgeon
pigeon,
iridescence
The merchant republics are done
as is the nun
who forbade us aged five to say
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
