Dear Friends, If you’re awake at 6:19 AM
tomorrow (!!!!) this poem will be on WNYC/Morning Edition
as part of their national poetry month tribute. It’s from US
my new book (Saddle Road Press) coming out in November.
Of Neighbors Who Fall in Love with One Another
Martha at the post office
said today there’s
something sexy
in a high school way
about neighbors.
She told us this:
famous bass guitarist
a wife and five sons
every single son
a drummer
he fell in love
with his directly across the street
neighbor
married choreographer
two children of her own
they ran away
actually both
real marathon runners
they ran away
to another small town
just three miles
from here. Will they
each fall in love
with their neighbors again?
Yay! Hope to hear it online. Meanwhile, it's another delightful poem!
Congratulations & wonderful
