I was the poem’s
Crooked bird

I took gravity—
12 seconds

Of irreverence—

Of someone

In love with his
Own plummeting

The briefest
Of falls

On my

I was a weight
In the darkness

I slashed
At the air

My poem
Was an anvil

Was a line
I detested reading

It was pretense
To look

The other way
At this
