if i was an abstract artist
i could get away with using
a name like that and placing a little blob
of abstract paint below, red or blue
the title is just a draw for the canvas
but in a poem i can't get away with that
i have to let you know the point of the title
without revealing that the point of the poem
is to use that name. the poem is just a draw
for the name; the name a draw for the poem.
So, in the center of this circle,
I'm asking you to imagine
a little blob of abstract paint
and your own little poem.
