Holding Posture by Howard Altmann
Maybe it's because I was never the biggest fan of history class, but this poem by Howard Altmann is uninteresting.
It describes history. It's mildly clever, but I don't see the point in it. There is no magic or myth in the descriptors. History is, apparently, everything ("It keeps time and loses time, /knows its place and doesn’t know its place." etc., etc.) All encompassing and dull, no?
Favorite line: "afternoons it naps"
