from "monological poem #1"

There are hot forms and
cold forms and poems

no matter how you break them and
what you print them on

are always cold (no matter how
hot they were at the manufacturing stage).

And yet hot and cold
sometimes aren't even all that

far apart and it has been known
for the one to turn into the other:
