At the baptism
I read the prayers
for minor prophets
I was the first one
to arrive and cried
while I waited for you
I was born
on a Monday morning
right around 8:30am
in the same pink hospital
my father died in
twenty four years later
Every time I write a poem
I have to choose
if it will be
in paragraph form
or normal
I choose normal every time
The font
is set
to default
but did you know
a font is also
a sacred basin,
a vessel
designed to carry
baptismal water
