Edgar Miller
Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Rounds
In the round
The pale orange
Cloud-like couches
Filled with suits and ties
And men
Who sit in reserve
Awaiting an opening to offer an opinion
To rehash the old,
Assure the current,
Or, dialog the future,
Uncertain course to take,
for a progressive and unrelenting disease
that in the end,
will succeed.
