An Offense of Poetry
we were eyes watching skin feeling
not heavy ; we were serious secure
reading Tom Wolf's painted bus trip
and M.A.S.H. the movie matinee
.
independent with dignitaries' grace
our youth of generations of strife
innocent eyes to the bright light
nurture underneath tree of life
.
went fighting the war with poetry
and treasured in nourished learning
to steal away from the gates of hell
was mans work to tend to his eden
.
