Poem by Calvin Pennix



COMMUNICATED CONFIDENCE

At a loss

one begins in

italics


Additional markings

      communicate confidence

in upwards of …

      situating a main point



As distracted avoidance

 and clearly defined

                                                                                    however
 
               it’s a fragment



How far does blue
