Day 10: I am Captivated
I am Captivated
I
hear words play,
condensed, distilled,
large, rich and
full.
Over and over,
new scenes unfold.
The clock
ticks,
midnight looms.
The calendar page
Is tipping while I
hurry.
Robert Pinksy speaks,
Stanley Kunitz presents,
Louise
Glück and others
I never met
hold my attention.
Recordings
of poems
echo still, even
after my iPod stopped.
