but maybe I have seen Beyond
Obie Dziedzic photo is for real

have to trust my vision
and the insights I can feel

back to meatless meanderings
vegetarian again my meals

allusions and quotations
are two ways that poets steal

I’d like to write a storysong
that helps the commonweal

David Markson touched me deeply
his genre-breaking zeal

I stand and stare in the mirror
and alone in darkness kneel

Then I wager with Pascal
play the hand She deals
