PEACH

by JOHN DORROH

I am forever in my skin
until I’m not in my skin

and again it could be too
late at that point to with-

draw any objections of
how I chose to end up

out of my skin in the first
place. I saw you out of

your skin twice last year
and it wasn’t so bad. You

wear it well, in or out of
your skin, and that’s good.

Whether JOHN DORROH taught any secondary science is still being discussed. He did manage, however, to show up at 6:45 every morning with at least three lesson plans and a thermos of robust Colombian. His poetry has appeared in about 80-85 journals, including Dime Show Review, North Dakota Quarterly, Os Pressan, Feral, Selcouth Station, and Red Dirt Forum/Press. He also writes short fiction and the occasional rant.
