Two Poems by Bruce Covey

Reveal: Shapes

Point: Massage chairs; mortgages; Los Angeles collocation
Segment: I’’m mailing my vote from anywhere to anyone
Line: Are you a native speaker of Estonian or Lithuanian?
Circle: Introducing a very special being straight from the stars
Ellipse: A ray of light passing through a focus will pass through the other
Triangle: What is the best film you’’ve seen lately? Which theater has the worst seats?
Square: Four ships today to offer and unveil facets
Rectangle: The spiral is not actually tangent at these points
Rhombus: If you would like to try and discover them
Pentagon: The nerve center for command and control is virtually a city within itself
Hexagon: Wee puns of mass distraction will run about the show
Dodecahedron: Appears as part of the staircase being ascended by lizards

Reveal: Quarks

Up: Report railroad emergencies
Down: You have again risen and given your all
Strange: Your body is creating and killing
Charmed: After trying on a pair of go-go boots
Bottom: Music spans the spectrum; pool tables!
Top: When only the hottest will do, rouse
