      December 17, 2017698. Evidence-Based PoemPaul E. Nelson

      for Daniel Smith, Hillsboro, MO, 12.16.17, Daniel—

      Forget, if you can,
      the seizure of air, space, heart.
      —Daphne Marlatt

      This is a vulnerable poem
      (as are all poems
      all sentient beings) a poem
      calling out entitlement
      celebrating diversity
      a transgender poem you
      could read to a fetus.
      An evidence-based poem
      while at the same time
      a science-based poem
      honoring all the moorings
      one anchors to at the calm
      at the center of delusion.
