THE POEM IN WHICH I ACCOUNT FOR WASTED TIME
Nicholas Molbert
“I once was a boy
whose best invention was walking
and admiring hydrants at the same time.”
What certain voice
Peter Grandbois
“It’s hard to see the exact length
Of childhood, or any other life
Shaped in this handmade world.”

Rebecca Pyle
“Practice for what?
The rare and painful
Moment of performance, the rain that could
Become a flood, and carry us happy
And hapless, away”
