Sonnets Up the Stretch #5

Anything. I had a great time. Ditto,

and my life polite as a colleague passed.

I disbelieved injuries, but injuries remained.

As a columnist’s eye sees the heart of a player

I never got past the ribs. Poor me, to have

love as a series of isos come. Who called

them for me must have seen the hidden

mismatch. A system prompts its own disorder.

Others live like Darius Milhaud’s fingers

or Darius Miles’s rhetoric or the pistons

of his Rolls Royce or the sound of milk

poured over his breakfast cereal or

a stray dog among Tigard Tigers or

the lamps of Lake Oswego. Good for them.

I got stuck on “isos” tho. Are you referring to the greek— being identical?

I was thinking isolation plays...

Should it be ISOs?

There is probably no more terrible instance of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man — with human flesh.

just wondering....

if you should call this Sonnets down the stretch, instead of up?
