rolig commented on the word emily dickinson
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time,
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives.
– Paul Simo, "The Dangling Conversation" (1966)
