Two sets of parentheses at the top
like your fist that goes
open-close-open-close;
parted in the middle by
two quotation marks,
short like the hairs in your nose.
Below, a wide opening
with the gentle face of
a creature stowed:
the face of two apostrophes
on either side
of a bulging O.
Do you remember
the days of artfully
punching buttons,
of basking in
anticipation of
the fate of
a cryptic bear
you yourself fashioned?
