(’13)
////////////////////////////////////////////>>
– Excuse me… Greatness?
– I don’t mean to be so persistent,,,
but hey, I’ll be 81 soon,,
just thought I’d remind you…
– All I’m asking for
is a one-time meeting, that’s all- – –
I feel awful begging like this,
I’ll do anything you want.
– A full schedule? Not a chance, eh?
I understand; just thought I’d ask.
– Crying? What, are you crazy?
that’s from an allergy…
– The whole thing is about pride, anyway…
it’s not really that important.
– Of course,
if you happen to change your mind…

Read Poem/CommentINTELLECTUAL ENCOUNTER
(’95)
/////////////////////////////////////////////>>
– Pencil meets blank page…
Pencil scribbles a few words,
waits for reaction from page,,,
– Page doesn’t say anything –
pencil feels bolder,
writes a line, then another,,,
– Nothing can stop pencil now,
writes this, writes that…
page begins to feel
it’s being taken for granted,,,
– Shouts, “Hold it pencil!
you’re all over me,
what do I get out of this?”
– ‘Why, Page, we work together,
I show you & you show the world,
I’m the vehicle, you’re the highway,
I’m the wave, you’re the shore.’
– Page thinks about it,,,
“you know,” says page, “I guess—
some of us are born to pencil,
& others are born to page.”
