If I Don't Write a Poem
it doesn't mean I don't want
to disorganized a person who
lives with no straight lines I do not
have routines or plans do not have
anything alphabetized in order in a row
Yiddish word is farmischt and yet
because there is always always an
and yet even on those days when I can not
for reasons of no reasons, write a poem
and yet there is always underneath the surface
where good words live there is somehow
always even when you can't see it
a poem.
