the events of my day
organized into couplets
like a barber shop quartet
little snippets of memory
played out freely
what i took in and took away
written into a lover's bouquet
i know though that everyone who writes
thinks of the same sense or shade of light
any ordinary syllogism
can sound like plagiarism
oh i think i've been labeled a pagan
for putting my life into words again
