NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT



C Ra McGuirt





jail missed by .1%.

war by accident
& choice.

college collapsed
under laziness,

& marriage.


marriage collapsed
under sanity.


the hospital
didn't miss:
it sent

a spider
a woman,
& a fall

at reasonable
intervals.

the spider &
the fall were
superficial,

& so was the woman,
in the end.


death doesn't enter
into this poem,


& so i've
nothing

to brag
about.
