As an editor of a poetry magazine, I have read thousands of poems in my nineteen years on the job, and not all of them are worth even the time it takes to read them. But then, there are these. These are the poems that changed my days, my ways, my life, or my mind.

Quality Time by Tim Scannell
I use time with obsessive
Care only once during the day:
Getting butter to every corner,
Every goddamned edge of
The toast.
