A RAPOETICS REPRINT: Wamus… by Dan Nielsen

 

Wamus

The less love
there is
the more likely
it will be

equally shared.

The meaning
of existence
is
the existence

of meaning.

Sometimes I like
To save the crusts
from a loaf of bread
and pretend that it’s

a bun.

The longest words
do not necessarily
have the most letters
because some letters

are wider than others.

She asked about my glasses.
I told her I was farsighted.
She asked how far I could see.
I said “At night
I can see stars.”
