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.
Its intentions are clear as the air in a bee hive
It is not a surrogate for a kind of absence.
It declares itself like a finger. Cicero
Hi, I said, glistening from the running;
You must be J.’s friend. Shall we fuck?
Like a cavalry charging, productive loins
in parallel
Straddle baby carriages;
Measuring out the Jack
Daniels at 1 : 25,
closing the cupboard
It was a pretty boat, tied to the pier,
greeting a city with streets of water,
the great gold griffin of its tall smokestack
I gave up some of my bitterness. Let me tell you why.
It is true, as I have implied, that everyone should give up his mission, whether it’s to save the world, as mine always has been, or to live the life of a Don Juan.
Long past that moment,
I might guess when it was,
but strangely I have no
she’d rather hobble to the window
to look out on garages and planets
That woman on the beach camouflaged
in sand (in California where
they have Satanic rituals now)
