"Publisher's Note" and "Acknowledgments"

Two Poems by Benjamin Bucholz

 

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

This is a work of fiction.
It does not exist.
Names,
characters,
places,
and events
called to mind are merely
juxtaposed synaptic
ambiguities
owing

any resemblance

to real
names,
characters,
places,
and events

their
being.

 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank Ego
for the whisker-rub last night,

air
for the mouth of a man devouring me,

the ginger grin of Sun Ng
beeping in the ICU
for

movement, a movement
like ice-skating --
only unstoppable.

Without you,
all of you,
I would not be
where I am today.
