Life is liquid
and I thicken it and define it
with my pair of scales and sceptre”

a poem for Kent Ohio
you know me
I would rather
swim chin deep
through
cold wet
everything that’s coming than
spend one day
over

being able to say

in college
in a college town
when I
knew people
with names like
Beth Woyshville
