A FLEA TAKES
Folder:
THE POETRY KEEPS GETTING DIRTIER
a flea takes
a bit out
of my foot
and thoughts
of poets imprisoned
in Libya disappear
I have to scratch
the itch
which of course
will only make it worse
and I have
yet to join
Amnesty International
but the plans
are sidetracked
again
I scratch the bite
that itches
Poets in jail?
Where?
How soon
we lose sight
of our goal.
