BTW: The winner of the first poetry lottery was Lisa Segal! Here is her poem...
The Ring Held for Me to Jump Through Is Flaming
I carry the trouble I understand.
I’m smoking in this morning’s bird song.
I’m smoking in this morning’s bird song--
an exhausted Kama Sutra purveyor.
I’m an exhausted Kama Sutra purveyor.
Classification is everywhere.
Classification seeks order everywhere.
Inclinations aren’t easy to wrangle.
Inclinations are tempting not to wrangle.
I was naïve about connectivity.
So naïve about connectivity.
We lacked a conversational touch.
We lacked a conversational touch.
He put a firecracker in my gift.
He lit the firecracker in my gift.
I carry the trouble I understand.
