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.
