Parallelograms


easy silences come and go; uneasy
the world is full of them.
verbs flip, annex to vowels that masquerade
as consonants--they are gymnasts who bare
a predilection for gaps in time and space
that a period makes, an end.

partially tells you where to go
and how to get there
(if you are willing to follow its flips
and turns, clockwise)
