David M. Alper
The Poem That Revealed the Good-For-Nothing Statistics of Spring
the night to come / I'll be conveying a laugh / I'll be anticipating playing with sorrow / anyone can yield to a tale of him / anyone can / the ugly twilight / starting again / the way unhappiness is / framed in a malignant foolishness / amour can be so malignant / growing old / maybe I'm hinting at life / maybe I'm entangled in reality / dwelling on this anger and resentment / in another dimension / fleshing out the time assigned
