Poem For OSU's Yearbook + 2

 I submitted the following poem to be included in OSU's yearbook. The theme of the call for submissions is "Faces of Reality." This poem will not be published in the yearbook, it is safe to say.

BTW: On June 3rd I will be reading some poems somewhere at OSU for The Grove, an online literary journal published by OSU undergraduate students. My jocular cat poem Thurber is in their new issue which you can find here.

On June 5th I will be performing with Marina Goldshteyn at Junctionview Studios during Creative Arts for Women's Sadie Hawkins show. I'll be composing a poem on the spot which will be projected onto the wall. While the poem is being written Marina will paint the words I am using as I use them - materializing the layers of the writing process that normally go unseen and creating a bright mess of a mural.

The poem for OSU,  LIKE "WHO NEEDS IT?", is after "The Jump" as is two more.
