Software Sonnet [by Mitch Sisskind]

No photo description available.

Software Sonnet

We say that he or she does not have
The software whenever he or she
Is physically, mentally, or emotionally
Incapable of performing some task
Like if he doesn't have the basketball
Software to play in the NBA or if
She can't speak French she lacks
The French software of if he or she
Cries a lot and has bad insomnia
And in old age is preoccupied
With all the missed opportunities
Then he or she needs to download
Some new emotional software
Unless it may actually be too late.

from The Bonus Round

Radio

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark


from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
