“ Going to Ask “

Going to ask
entering
the passage
while writing
rapidly
and calling,
“Not so fast!”
in order to sort
mortifying thoughts
lips kept moist
sitting cross-
legged on the floor
absorbed in thought
by reinforcements
“What’s in store?”
caught off balance
by flexed set paws
hooking and hauling
recorded stories
counterintuitively taught
pathos daunting
defying formulas end of story...
