Selection
there’s
a poem
I tend
to read
whenever
I want
to feel
something
and the other
day
I got around
to looking up
the writer
‘cause I was
curious
about him
and the first
glimpse
of biographical information
noted his birth
but not his death
so I thought he was
still alive
and I’m reading
all about him
more than 30 books
professor at Syracuse
$50,000 prize
and then I’m surfing
this other site
to read more
about his life
and I see then
that he was
87
three days
from now
