POETRY

February 24, 2006

BY DENNIS ANDREW AGUINALDO

Friday is a fear of weekends,

The shadows of monuments,

                         Stones,

Sticks.

        Shield against a Saturday!

Water down a rising Sunday.

Next week could be different.

                              A next

Week?  Could be more than seven days.
