logopassépied


I.

letter escalator going up

flight of letters passing abruptly in V formation

letters rising from a hot cup of words

II

quarter moon apostrophe hanging in night sky

couple sleeping on a parenthesis

semicolon subway rider on the end seat


III

afternoon of a font

the sonnet also rises

mood the obscure


IV

ellipsis joggers running out of file

capitals in a snow storm with broken letter umbrellas

dachshund sentence in a muddy yellow slicker

V

a comet fell on the moon!

She balanced her stroller on her head?

the little sad word that "cried"
