Why?
by
morgan Michaels

Unaccountably, while I was making a liverwurst sandwich
with mustard and cornichons on rye
the poem took a dive
off the countertop, I don't know why,

Onto the floor and burst into words
which can be either blunt or sharp, heaven knows.
There was nothing to do
but sweep it up
eat the sandwich
and put on shoes.
