Paul Pfleuger, Jr.


Pros

Time was
an entirely democratic poem
walking its owner

(Lo, shall a narrative enter)

Man:           You are not who you are
                      until you’ve shaved with this.

Woman:     It’s a dress that no longer fits.

Something or other blooms
enough to escape
I’s, body, sense and all
sort of skipping through

the imagery
surrounding
our holograms
the construction
sites around
words and things.
