Wouldn't you know

2012-Oct-15 By Dave Carpenter

A circle’s a circle, wouldn’t you know?
Obliquely receding the further you go,
Relentlessly erring
Away from you, tearing
The shades of your past
With a dissonant blow.

But you already knew that,
Didn’t you know?

Meet the Author

I’m a writer, editor, homebrewer, traveler, and armchair philosopher.

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado, with my wife, two cats, a freezer full of green chiles, and a small armada of fermentation vessels.
