I am the square
by Kristina WoodhillToday I am the square,
the straight sides of arial
“l's”, "t's" with that special
tiny cross bearing all;
ignoring the rounded,
I refuse the kiss of “o's”
mouth
diregard the “a” standing
on one leg, lolling
I might keep the “i” around
for its upside down
exclamation
but the point keeps
eye-ing me, telling
me what to do
a small fat teacher
niggling on and on
about my last composition
cross and dot
cross and dot
a slashing red-line smarty
causing digression
hesitation
a halt to the running
stream my feet barely
had the chance to feel,
the cold icy
prying loose
the lazy warm;
I claim the cube's
position- I, 3D square -
put your glasses on!
I am here
to melt
your drink
