Three short poems by Bill Knott.
WRONG
I wish to be misunderstood;
that is,
to be understood from your perspective.
FOOTNOTE
All of us who lived on Earth
and all our loves and wars
may not appear at all
in the moon’s memoirs.
QUICKIE
Poetry
is
like
sex
on
quicksand
ergo
foreplay
should
be
kept
at
a
minimum.
