That Hiccup was Optimism

Christine Scanlon

there might have been other dimensions to know

rather than this one world walking around
with her long face—

               showing all the joy of a love-object
embedded in half closed eyes.
It seems we are both tired of being
moved—

               of wearing holes on the outside
of our dress—with someone else
always pulling the strings

intermittently—but Ouch!



Christine Scanlon
