Screaming infant

______________________________________

ROUTINE HAZING

Night terrors
Typical of this routine,
The feeling of having nothing
To offer
Strikes the nerve
Like dentist's exploration
Of clearly defined cavity
"Just to confirm",
Inflicting a bleeding reminder
A receiving of your own sad calling card,
One you hadn't realized
Went to print.

  1. Just read on
    and read back
    with nothing
    to offer?

  2. It is not 10:21 PM
    It is much later
    than that
    for those of us
    who have
    prematurely
    sent our
    blank
    calling
    cards
