Poem of the Week, Dec. 29 – Jan. 4
~Joel Brouwer, Centuries, Four Way Books 2003
This scene seems absolutely fitting around the holidays with so many functions filled with “gigantic children.” Not to mention it’s a darn good prose poem. I enjoy Brouwer overall for his lively spirit and inventiveness, and specifically, I enjoy this poem for that last moment when “[e]ven the mice know you’re lying.”
