Poem

 

i am a bubble

wrapped poet

shipped to a foreign

place by words

fragile increments

lines, stanzas

easily broken

violating rules

of sender's means

i am a bubble

wrapped poet

thrown into your bin

of mail-order lovers

"handle with care"

ignored with defiance

you and hearts

create extra postage

required.
