Three Poems by Michael Reich

Present Inabililty

You didn't


            learn to be a paramedic

andrew

gets
       glass stuck in his leg

past

mistakes
present.          inability to



help

W a t e r

Human beings are life



alone
am i alive?

their energy
keeps you going

social contacts

;

      (humans are like

w a t e r)

Minding

the mind

thought
fighting the death

of the body




the mind

               altering the death trip
pushing it away

im minding my mind
by typing on this mind made contraption phone
