Analysis of The Prose Waits
If you finally struck gold
And were digging out the mine
Would you leave it for a month
And come back to what you’d find
That’s the way I feel each day
Being blessed to write this verse
The prose insanely waiting,
—for my voice to then reverse
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
