Same Lesson, Different Day* She keeps returning, persistent, optimistic On my doorstep with different guises Sometimes an orphan tucked in a wicker basket, Sometimes a salesman rocking eagerly on his heels Sometimes two children stacked under a trench coat, Or a an extra terrestrial in rags having burned a flower of creosote into my walkway […]
