A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


conception


that vowel
is a chip off the old writers block
that consonant
in union with the other
a marriage of letters
leads to children of words
to a generation of lines
to a poem for all time...

All is well thanks. Watching with amusement as Trump continues to show the world how detached his fathers money has made him from the real world.
