Pinpoint
Eric Phetteplace
Pinpoint awakes automatic
without alarm, same hour
every day. His friends
(the knife tip, the match head,
the slight aperture of a hypodermic needle)
have tried interventions
but he has little reason
to listen to their inane babble. The wristwatch he wears
almost an anachronism now, a token
of stranger times.
