    Letter

    A. E. Stallings

    Daughter, yours is a different alphabet,
    For every word I know, you know another.
    You are only half mine, and half
    A language hard to learn.

    The Sound of My Father

    Samuel Less

    The sound of my father
    pissing from great height
    at the dead center
    of the toilet bowl
    without concern for
    sleeping children . . .
