Len Gurts’ Forward March

March’s mother was a grain producer.
March went to space.
March’s lawyer was a clerk. March
never thought of his nails. March installed
plenty. March became a beacon
of this here watering can. March produced
quality workmanship. March
never tried to spell the word “soufflé”. March is an attempt:
he would say this to me. March
was my lover? March was my lover.
March was birthdayless, an unforgiven
pie seller. Never candled did March.
March didn’t look a day over my watering can.
March, indoors and mostly unable to sell his work, but I support him: the world at fault: we have property on the farthest side of the lake: this can: he bloody hates it!
