Narcissus

Perhaps

One imagines himself,
As in that line
Of Oppen’s,

Addressing his peers,
Or one does not. If he does,
He may well wonder how;

If not, he may fancy himself
Lost in reflection,

Wondering why.

  1. I want to know what kind of vitamin you're taking so I can order some. Great stuff!

  2. Joe,

    Thanks for your good words. Your comments on vitamins got me to thinking: Other than doing a combination of this and trying to pedal my bike at least 10 miles every day, no vitamins whatsoever, but if I were to compare the number of poems written in the six months before my blog with the number written since then, I would have to conclude that the increased production is due to my being in almost daily contact with a small but very potent group of creative “germs”, whose encouraging support continues to fortify me!
