Keep a Sharp Eye

Milton Jordan

Keep a sharp eye on those five guys

(note as well the woman who joined them)

now claiming their love of life required

interference with difficult decisions 

some women must make with their physicians,

watch when the cases come round to executions

or interfering with the steady spread

of weapons meant for taking lives.

Milton Jordan lives with Anne in Georgetown. He is looking forward to to the forthcoming anthology, Lone Star Poetry, from the Texas Poetry Assignment, 2021.
