Declaring Peace - Patrick Woodworth

[Larry Robinson]

Declaring Peace

Enough.  Say it slow, revel in the eff
disguised as a cough, slide on the E
until you give everything you've got
to WHEE; you're free of anything
coming next.  No preference, no
acceptance.  No next at all.  Just 
the chasm between that lonely E
and the expansive tangle
of all those letters making one 
sound.  Enough.  Content.
All my masks in insouciant
disarray on the gleaming floor.
