Poem By
Tom Snarsky

True things are socially impractical
Is a true thing that’s socially impractical


Handling the truth in a poem is like
Holding a baby goose close


In the hope it will someday defend you
Or your ducks, who can’t do it themselves


Imprinting is something the truth does
Almost by accident, although


As evinced by many small waterfowl
Just bc something imprints doesn’t mean


It can’t be killed
