READING POETRY

 

 

I’m reading poetry

            of Hart Crane

    instead of

     discussing football scores

  but no one seems

                 to notice

      that I’m different

 

Is it illusion?

        Or what is gone on?

             with the conflict

                   of interest welling

           to the surface

 

this mythological dream—

             a utopia

                  in modern world

       with technology

            and space travel

               but Mars is

                    too far gone

 

and I just hoping

             to feel

         a faint touch

             of a pulsing human heart

                     beating a song

       of love for me
