I don't know what to do
with the alphabet anymore,
tossing letters in the water
just to watch them splash
and disappear under the ripples.
There's a poem of mine at the bottom
of the lake, scrambled,
like "The Dead Emcee Scrolls,"
but poetry is just undecipherable
graffiti to most of America.
And that makes me the saddest:
that I'll never really know
if these ripples ever get to you.
