SNAPSHOTS OF OUR LIVES DAY FOUR AND (ONE OF SOMEONE ELSES- Charles Marsh).
I
Little Dragonfly crawling up the wall
Slips to fall
struggling it inches up
Falls flying away.
II
Little Dragonfly trying to crawl up the wall
Music confuses its sights
It jumps to (too) inch a bit
Stumble,
Fly away.

Drinking coffee feels like managing my life.
Studiously working,
reviewing back pain statistics, love idioms, and
Pronunciations of cash flow through bike shops with endless
doors closing in front of faces, too many to remember.

Charles Marsh described by Jennet Conant:
“He was an enthusiastic proponent of plunging into life with
both feet, committing oneself fully, damn the consequences. He championed a
sort of super-American Whitmanesque belief in pure spirit, boundless
possibility, and what he called that unshakable “bit of devine moving from the
embryo to death in each of us.’”
From The Irregulars, Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime
Washington page 24, by Jennet Conant .
