Curatorialist

Not everything is designed to make a point

Sometimes a point is made from things facing away from each other

And that’s the point

Sonny came by today, shot some hoops after dinner

And I had an inch-long needle stuck just north of a lingual nerve

As the novocaine crawled through my gums I thought about Sonny

My boy and me separate dentist chairs, mouths open, mouths in pain

For things we try to say but make no point

Understanding more from a basketball and a darkening sky

Two points.
