A poem a day in April from Rutgers English PhD students and friends.

has to

Of course, I thought,
in this (re)vision I had
where I was flying:

Februarys, for Black History,
Marches for Women's, and so
April's poets start as fools!?

Unless, you'd guess, they'd remember,
through all the early spring sagacious traffic,
and enamored by the sunlight's streaming rays:

Every sky has its story, every horizon its history and final say.
