“For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper,” Joseph Fasano
Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.
****
“Sudden Hymn in Winter,” Joseph Fasano
What if, after years
of trial,
a love should come
and lay a hand upon you
and say,
this late,
your life is not a crime
