The Point

I said
Look at that
And pointed

You raised your head
And flailed your eyes about

Had you looked to my hand first
You would have seen it
Before it was gone
(mid July 2004)

Disobedience

finger on glass
footprint in grass
               
sliver cross swirl
green stain on shirt

written in sand
etched into stone

shaken by hand
signed for in blood
(late July 2004)


Target Practice

Choose your target
Before you eye it
If you want to hit the bull
A dart equidistant
From two worthy centers
Has value exactly nill
(early August 2004)
