First timers
the first time is a small but needful dominion
a boat of unfortunate paper an ink that occasions silence
a man who escaped prison in woman’s apparel
you crow like a cock at the table of it
and I am summoned like an answer in words words words
I learn old things all over again out of hope
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 6 December 1667.
