from ON WRITING

EPISTEMOLOGY
When I first began
to fragment
liberal arts college
I find it hard
to fib
so compartmentalize
I write the word “apartment”
to mean “separation”
but worse
“a leper colony”
I call IT support
“my nurses
in the sanatorium”

WRIT LARGE
with a fang
harp
I irritate
the nearby trees
my desire writ large
in literature’s
Sharpie:
fear
mongers
hate
wrongs
the language writ larger than
lies of these
liars

I WROTE THE BOOK
And yet
I don’t feel like
the same person
who wrote
eroding
“who wrote eroding”
who wrote who wrote who wrote
“your boat”
“who wrote who wrote”
eroding
