“Hindsight”,

VERSUS:

a

VERSUS:

poem

VERSUS:

by

VERSUS:

Jim

VERSUS:

Redfoot

Little

VERSUS:

wolf,

VERSUS:

I

VERSUS:

spied

VERSUS:

you
far

VERSUS:

across

VERSUS:

the

VERSUS:

church yard.
I

VERSUS:

did

VERSUS:

not

VERSUS:

recognize
your

VERSUS:

thin

VERSUS:

pelt,

VERSUS:

frame

VERSUS:

to

VERSUS:

match;
that

VERSUS:

uniform

VERSUS:

too

VERSUS:

big
for

VERSUS:

everything

VERSUS:

but

VERSUS:

smile.

Pale

VERSUS:

boy,

VERSUS:

apologies.
We

VERSUS:

eat

VERSUS:

together,

VERSUS:

pray,
and

VERSUS:

study,

VERSUS:

gossip,

VERSUS:

laugh
'cross

VERSUS:

plastic

VERSUS:

table-cloth.
Sanctuary

VERSUS:

tide-pools
churn

VERSUS:

this fleeting

VERSUS:

friendship.

Sly

VERSUS:

wolf,

VERSUS:

here

VERSUS:

at

VERSUS:

my

VERSUS:

door
searching

VERSUS:

for

VERSUS:

sustenance,
perhaps

VERSUS:

seeking

VERSUS:

shelter.
Calculus

VERSUS:

homework

VERSUS:

now;
My

VERSUS:

eyes

VERSUS:

and

VERSUS:

heart

VERSUS:

walled

VERSUS:

in,
blinders

VERSUS:

fit

VERSUS:

for

VERSUS:

horses.

Earnest

VERSUS:

guy

VERSUS:

in

VERSUS:

the

VERSUS:

den,
elbows

VERSUS:

anchored

VERSUS:

over
the

VERSUS:

week’s

VERSUS:

shared

VERSUS:

assignment.
Soft

VERSUS:

brow

VERSUS:

furrowed

VERSUS:

sternly,
I

VERSUS:

am

VERSUS:

a

VERSUS:

year

VERSUS:

older,
yet

VERSUS:

far

VERSUS:

less

VERSUS:

wise

VERSUS:

than

VERSUS:

you.

Gaunt

VERSUS:

wolf,

VERSUS:

shoulders

VERSUS:

weary,
eyes

VERSUS:

perched

VERSUS:

in

VERSUS:

dark

VERSUS:

circles.
Doubts

VERSUS:

lurk

VERSUS:

behind

VERSUS:

your

VERSUS:

mask,
listless

VERSUS:

at

VERSUS:

my

VERSUS:

table.
Your

VERSUS:

pack

VERSUS:

haunts

VERSUS:

you

VERSUS:

daily
with

VERSUS:

militant

VERSUS:

demand.

 
"What's

VERSUS:

eating

VERSUS:

you?"

VERSUS:

I

VERSUS:

ask.
Deflection,

insisting:


"Is

insisting:

it

insisting:

about

insisting:

a

insisting:

girl?"
A

insisting:

pause,

insisting:

and

insisting:

then

insisting:

a

insisting:

smile.
"Yeah,

insisting:

that's

insisting:

it"

insisting:

your

insisting:

voice

insisting:

soft,
teeth

insisting:

sharp

insisting:

and

insisting:

so,

insisting:

so

insisting:

white.

Young

insisting:

man,

insisting:

riding

insisting:

shotgun
parked

insisting:

just

insisting:

outside

insisting:

the

insisting:

dorm.
Had

insisting:

I

insisting:

found

insisting:

my

insisting:

fur

insisting:

then,
I’d

insisting:

have

insisting:

reached

insisting:

for

insisting:

your

insisting:

hand;
Instead

insisting:

I

insisting:

looked

insisting:

away –
and

insisting:

Wolf

insisting:

slipped

insisting:

into

insisting:

night.

insisting:

Thank

insisting:
