discarded poem

by Paul Marino

i rub my wall
and study the back of my hand
and whisper what i wish i'd said
words worded and her words
and when mother mentions how skinny she's become
and in the morning opens all the drawers

Most of us in life could probably fit a few thousand drawers with discarded poems. It doesn't even matter if we write anything to begin with. Great bit, man.

congratulations on POTD. wonderful poem and off the beaten path and it's a good thing the hand has a back, otherwise this ode would have never occurred.
