The Last Time I Saw Beth
It was some night in November, in the Nantucket Airport. I wanted to pick up my Christmas cards, but I didn’t want to talk to Beth. I buried my face in a trashy magazine as she bounced into the little shop. She had just found out that she was pregnant with their first child. She spotted me and said, “What a good feeling it is helping others even in a small way.” She didn’t have a blue wig and sunglasses. Some other people said insensitive things, and she got pretty mad. I was about 16 and living in Invercargill. July 31st would mark my second year as a known witch.

Synchronicity
I am the girl who eats alone, looking at you
from a distance. Look for bad-you will find
enough evil deeds. Some genetic trace
skipping generations: consider
my daughter.
Why would I pawn
my wedding ring, change the locks?
That is no idle threat.
What he is claiming is the opposite
of commonly accepted reality: cognitive
dissonance. And if I were inclined
towards political allegory, now
would be the time to make one.
Putting things down on paper
is the only way to understand.
Facts. Logic. Science into art.
When anyone asks how much my painting
costs, I say “three divorces!”
I intend to parcel up my belongings, a change
Being as good as a rest. My heart’s
in my eyes and if you touch them,
you’ll get a taste of infinity.

A Poegles Vocabulary
Filed Under Poegles, poetry contest | Leave a Comment
When Knowing the Vocab is Half the Test
Conquer test anxiety by knowing
about half the people who take the test.
This method will be especially helpful if a hundred
words make up about half your vocabulary.
In the second half of the lesson
you will find out how many words you know.
Approximately half of the tests
in the second half of the lesson
test less than half of the half
of students who have studied
for less than half an hour. And still,
more than half will get it wrong.
Analogies are no longer part of the preparation
for the approximately half of the tests.
It’s no mystery how to do well on this test:
half the GRE is only the SAT.
A person with a highly developed vocabulary
will only know about half the story.
