Wendell Smith
Fractal Caveat
for Donald Lawder
and our siblings in obscurity
The best poems
are sung and lost,
form and vanish
like fingers of frost,
which come to craze
the edges of ponds
on early mornings
of late autumn days.

Wendell Smith is a retired physician who thinks we would all be healthier if we would read Ramon Guthrie’s masterpiece, “Maximum Security Ward.”
