Poems

REVERSE PROFILE

(Errata)

 

An

Error has

Sneaked by

In

The Book

Of Marriage:

The registry number

Of the bride

Lacks a digit

 

An

Error has

Sneaked by

In the Book

Of Birth:

The last name

Of the infant

Misses

A letter

 

It’s said

That

Even in

The Egyptian

Book of the Dead

A reverse profile has

Sneaked by:

That even in the

Collected works of

The most wise

Strange things slip by

 

It’s said that

We all sneak by

With our

Own mistakes:

Each with its own

Invisible

Errata
