Chimera

by David Kiphen

Chimera graphic

I’ve enjoyed
Things
For what they weren’t,
Pretending
They were else,
Or other —
Employed
The flings
Of chimeric
Wings —
Blending
Scale
And feather.

When he was young, inspired by his older brother's attempts to write, David Kiphen tried his own hand at it and was pleased. He went off to college, and though he came away with only a few hours credit, he was fortunate enough to get a job with the Brownsville Fire Department in South Texas. Presently, he has more time to write than many could ever hope to have. He's thankful.
