I never really understood
what he said
but every now and then
I find myself
barking with the dog
or bending with the irises
or helping out
in other little ways

Whoever is in your life,
those who harm you,
those who help you;
those whom you know
and those whom you do not know--
let them off the hook,
help them off the hook.
Recognize the hook.

My ink was too thin
The day wouldn't write
What the night pencilled in

"The Great Divide" and "The Party Was Over Then Too" (the latter on pg 25) are also pretty good.

I really like "Robert Appears Again". It's oddly funny, in a sad kind of way.

In the poem "Thousands", he says "I am one of the fakes, and this is my story." Why is he calling him fake?
