Lane Dean, Jr.

found

Wiggle Room

wasnt Who he was


He

was

Neal Dean

submissive

Kneal Dean

beaten down

kneel down

take it

He learned well


his Dod

no sparer of the Rod

No

Dod shackled Lane

at his wrists

his heels

blindered

gagged

him with Jr.

a pebble in his shoe

not to be removed

A-stigmatism

Stigmata borne


I

urged him

when Dod dies

that day

drop it

He didnt

Too brought-up Protestant

too German

too gentile

too Who

he thought

he was


His

Wiggle Room

OUT

his necktie

Its knot

a Boy Scout merit badge

slung

from the stout wood

closet rod

in his bedroom

door shut

before a full-length mirror

   his unflinching witness
