VI.
The irony inherent
is a prose piece
from yours truly
was found in his pocket, so
the doll had kept
a fragment of me
close by.
The camp friend - "Old Eagle Eye" -
picked up the doll
and took it back home.
I wrote a letter immediately after
I hung up the phone
knowing quite well that O.E.E. would simply
not understand that my
disappearing reappearing poet/doll
responded only to my immediate voice
or written word
and the odds that O.E.E. should locate
my companion along
the stick black tar and
yellow dividing reflective tape
of I-90,
stretched far and wide as
conflicting air currents
in Western Wind tornadoes.
