Here’s a poem I wrote. I originally wrote it to go along with a Polaroid snapshot I took, but I think the poem works without it. I hope you enjoy it. It’s about change, growing older, Luddite riots and machine smashing in post-WWII Europe, but most of all, my wang:
where we’ll only eat chick peas (or garbanzo beans) each winter by the fire;
come spring we’ll germinate the remaining kernels - the perfect dried miniature ram’s heads - in a shallow pan of water;
placing together the tender green sprouts in our hand-tilled backyard furrows;
on this rainy day.
