Plum Jam

ordinary year-old plum jam none
this we had no plums it must have been a disaster
no one tells because no one knows more than any

what am I doing then can't follow
my own play actually having fun actually happy at
the end it's irresistible the way he turns a phrase

"My mother knew beauty, but not how to surround herself sufficiently with it. My father knew my mother, but not how to attract her undivided attention." —Stanley Cavell
