Riskless (Metasestina 1)
- Dominique Fitzpatrick-O~Dinn
Tell me fast: will a sestina break a picket line or even end
an even fast? Star a skyline? Will I break a sestina
open, taste a sestina, even with breakfast? Will I swallow a line
from a seven-line sestina? Will even a fast break
in a coffee break line jot a fast sestina? Or even a will? I
will break even. I line my coffin with a sestina fast.
I will not stand for an unemployment line. A lousy break. I
have no use for a sestina. Riskless, I even the odds fast.
