Welcome to National Poetry Month, 2016! We’re celebrating all month long. Each day we will bring you a poem we love–a selection from one of our published or forthcoming collections.
Today’s featured poet is B.C. Edwards, author of From the Standard Cyclopedia of Recipes: Adapted Poems.
No. 31.
A cure for Giddiness.
As much as will stand
falling
as much as you are
know that we are
so very disappointed in you
