          On a pre-programmed mountain
     I was laid off from my job as a law clerk
 (but I loved it)
          and backed by that pre-programmed frightfulness,
               I wrote my first poem, titled:

                    'Bold Prayer'
                         And
                         was sa
                         tisfie
                         d
                         And
                         wai
                         ted
                         for
                         the
                         mou
                         nta
                         in
                         to 
                         rea
