14 lines, jack

i knew it was over
when
my back began to straighten
each time
i felt his touch

my heels began walking toward the rack
with cast iron frying pans

every time he said the word

quatorzain

and the man forced out so many safely spaced little sonnets
every sentence done to death

he always found a fucking reason
to say the word

quatorzain
