Curtains
by Nancy Ames"Standing there, you
cover the window and
watch me sitting in
your shadow - hollow
and blameless, you
man the barricades.
Just say no but
never make a move
until there is
something to oppose.
'Only a coward would
hit a coward' -
a comedian said that." 03/05/2008
Author's Note: This is obviously about personal/political oppression.

| Posted by George Hoerner on 03/06/08 at 02:05 AM This is nicely done. The end reminds me of something e.e. cummings said when asked if he'd hit a lady with a baby. His reply, "no I'd hit with a brick." He is one of my favorite poets. |
