Sixty-eight:

68

If I suck at baseball can I be good at math 

instead? What are universal truths 

without faith? What is abstract thought 

if not a three demential rendering 

of love? I can stare at a map for hours.

Maybe I am a poet instead...

What does all this have to do

with the cartography of the heart?

I listened to you breathe last night.

What if I’m a poet by accident?

What is the art of language 

if not a theory of consequence?

Sometimes life goes on sometimes. 

I suck at math, let’s play baseball instead.
