Possible Future Torture
The Nutcracker has not arrived yet,
ordered Mikhail Baryshnikov on DVD
on October the tenth - still have not
received it for succour and support
in these terrible times
Now know I got ‘commencé' right in
our French test, vindicates my theory
beginning is good while endings are
bad, beginning to chase my ideal of
words like songs on my tongue
Ended in disaster, the term required
to say ‘Emergence' fell into the well
of stupidity to become ‘Foundation'
I surrender to my destiny, doing
neck exercises at work
Mentally preparing for possible future
torture instead of typing clever lines
explaining theft of precious objects
