The Book of Men: Poems by Dorianne Laux

lighthearted reflective fast-paced

3.0

“You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake, ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house after the TV set has been pitched out the window. 

Harmless as a broken ax. Emptied of expectation. 

Relax. Don't bother remembering any of it. Let's stop here, under the lit sign on the corner, and watch all the people walk by. “
