Intern Poetry – David Drury

29 June 2004

 

 

Paradoxical Philip Shaw

An intellectual inhabiting a vest floatation device dress code—

unusual parsing Zoolander lips befits the Paradoxical Phil

I must reflect for this time to just jot one quirky ode:

One does make uncomfortable in the midst

of teaching me to be somewhat still,

helping me to know more,

leading me beyond,

showing sores,

up in da’ grill.

 

 

Ian Swyers IS

Affirming naming framing Ian:

A human doing or a human being?

As less concerned must may might happen

A man concerned with what he might become

Appropriate initializing becoming solitary “is”

As aptly defines one—baller turned scholar

And brings it all down to the truth,

As helps us see he simply is.
