Today's poem is by Rae Armantrout
Solution
A solution is found
when creatures
from the last ice age
band together
to survive.
Circumstances spin
like the mobile
above a baby crib.
Follow along
with an endearing
first person,
a penguin.
You won't get far.
You're the thing
that waits
to trap
each passing thought,
the anxious
blank
that God loves.
