Equidistant
Point
A
coffee-stained
handwritten
pages
w/
terse crossings out
&
prickly margin notes
Point
B
wilted
flowers atop a
fifty
pound dictionary
w/
its pages dog-eared
&
perused voraciously
we
work
quietly together at
opposite
ends of the desk
&
still make time to meet
in
the kitchen where we
both
prefer to cut the crust
off
of cucumber sandwiches
yours just with butter
&
mine with cream cheese
at
least
we
agree
on
black
coffee

My
bud challenged me to a wee writing exercise, to write a poem using the word ‘equidistant’
as the title.
The
above poem was the result.
In
propinquity,

I have no idea what "equidistant" means, but I sure like the poem! "Terse crossings out and prickly margin notes" indeed. And now I'm hungry ... cuke and cream cheese works for me.
ReplyDeleteEquidistant = equally distant.
