Scott Poole
Donuts
Six letters stacked on top of each other
like the six cars going up the hill at five.
A man can be a cup of coffee
with a spoon in his mouth and sugar
in his heart. He can wear a donut
everyday under his clothes. He
can even float down a river
on the weekends eating pastry.
That's his option. It's five o'clock.
Look at all the people trying to make it home.
