How to leave without making a sound (in alphabet soup form)
LEAVING
April 5, 2007
Alphabet Soup Poetry Form

A wkwardly she goes
B y way of the weary who
C arry woes in boxes
D own the side streets and
E verywhere on tip-toe
F earfully, hesitantly,
G ingerly.
H ow she must strive to keep him
I gnorant of
J ust a word or move that would let him
K now her secret plan, the
L ayout of her
M ap! And how she shivers in the
N ight with thoughts and horrific
O bscure dreams that
P lunge the depths of hell as she tries to
Q uench her fears with thoughts of
R ich
S uccess,
T o qualm her nerves
U ntil the
V eil of darkness
W anes and the
X ylocarpous meals of
Y esterday can be, like the past,
Z apped; destroyed, once and for all.
