On Catherine

Drive slow on Catherine
Deaf children at play
Don't let the bricks
lull you to sleep
Stay out of the street
she skipped rope
and made silent songs
as she went along
Catherine, so beautiful and sweet
Stay out of the street
when nothing is said
where is the blame?
a hit and run
Tag, she's done

When it had a different name---
My child played on Catherine



1989

107 was being marked hard by Comcast this afternoon.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
