The September 2007 poetry project consists of writing one poem per day in the month of September and putting it up for public consumption regardless of its state of completion.
The Institution
I am looking for signs everywhere In tea leaves, in sidewalk cracks In my horroscope, in the Tarot, In bird flights and if I can guess the next song on the radio, In four leaf clovers and pennies on heads On Craigslist, on Facebook, on MySpace I'm trying lucky numbers, lucky charms, Calling psychic hotlines, channelling the spirits I'm shaking the magic 8 ball, Numerology, I Ching, palmistry. I still don't understand the Institution. |
