The Other
by Don Wentworth

I read these words
& I don’t know them.

I wrote these words
& I don’t feel them.

I am read & I have
written & I don’t know.

These words are the words
of another I have borrowed.

We are given words for a
short time. Revel in them.

Make them yours. Soon,
very soon, you will be asked

to give them back.

Don Wentworth is a wonderful, local poet who also edits the Lilliput Review(click here for lilliput) )
