Poem


"Only those safe from fascism and its practices are likely to think that there might be a benefit in exchanging ideas with fascists."
--Aleksandar Hemon 


Conditional
after Aleksandar Hemon

are likely to think that there might be
pulled from its quotation, entered 
into Google’s engine, exciting
(but not matching) a BBC

Learning English course 
so it disappears to be mine
and I am free to present it without 

quotation marks, a staircase stanza 
climbed from right to left, walked across
then jumped from -- without anything
to catch us

who among us are likely to think that
there might be a point in lifting something
from something published and dropping from it
this length of poem?
