PIE SLICED BOTH WAYS
Poems by Lawrence Carradini

Two figures stand and one
slows to, not complacency,
more,
self-awareness.

The stage is set
The coach is footed
The actors turn back into
themselves.

Two figures sit and one
stands all, propped up,
not too,
alone.

The mice ate the pumpkin.
Both princes slept. All,
not neatly, Cinderella stories end
this (or that)
way.
