-----"Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry."(Muriel Rukeyser)---- "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." (Robert Frost)----- "Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn." (Thomas Gray)------ "Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words." (Paul Engle) -----

Untitled (A Bus Ride Through The City) (draft)
I sat on a bus today
listening to someone like you
and watching a woman cry
It wasn't heavy tears
or dog-calling sobbing
just a dabbing
under the lid
a reddening of
the eye
