Old Wishes [re-lineated, as image so the indents will show up]

if you want spaces for indents, use ampersand nbsp; - i think that has worked for me.

i still love this poem.

here is how i might lineate it:

Old Wishes

They are like a chorus of children, only it is always a rehearsal:
they flirt, knock scores

to the hardwood floor,
stab each other with pencils,
untie shoes and wait for a cue

that will come they don't doubt
like mothers about six o'clock
in the parking lot.

oops, there should have been a break after "children,"

Alternatively, you could post it as an image rather than text. Email me the poem and I can convert it into an image for you.

I like your stuff.
