a poem for today, 21 June 2012

[a word-sorted sonnet of nine sentences and its image]

One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.

Only to say it is a different thing.

I want to get to know you in the context of a support group.

I am nothing but I must be everything.

The turning number is the number of smiles minus the number of frowns.

I am quite the town freak which satisfies.

To be present within my body is to be present with a howling lack.

You have to create a climate of acceptance. 

In fact, it brings us so close together, we can hear each other's thoughts.
