THE GEEK IN ME
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
10 January 2012

I used to think I was married
to a saguaro cactus.
Turned out it was just my mind.
Not the mind of God
or the Archangel Michael.
Just my own small,
please-let-me-love-you
‘puter in the sky.
Wicked woes, head to toes,
all because of that cactus.
