Social Animal


Zen stepping
as through a migration
of snails

With riotous restraint
angles compressed as a diamond
or a death bed

Squint-eyed, one's feet
flopping gigantically

And all her children in their cups
following the funeral

Re: Social Animal


Hey Chris,

The first three stanzas paint a daunting, precarious picture of social awkwardness, with just the right hint of humor. There's a lot going on in those brief stanzas, which I think are original and well-done.

The last couplet came as a suprise. In a good way. I'm glad you included it, but it left me wantng more! I wondered if you might decide to develop that part of the scene a bit? Not necessary, but just me egging you on. emoticon
