81: My Own Fault
Peter Slapnicher
Night Train has rejected my poem, "Swum." They have not yet rejected the other 4 poems I sent them, and I believe what might have happened was that I accidentally sent them this poem as a piece of fiction. I think I checked the wrong box in their online submission manager. While I am a proponent of trying to shed all those poetry/ prose boundaries. These are perhaps the poemiest poems I've ever written and I can see why the reader rejected it as a fiction.
Whoops. Time to go on a little night train of my own.
