The Legend of Big and Fine Long ago, we used two words For the worth of a house, a car, A woman—all the same to men Who claimed them: things To be entered, each to suffer Wear and tear with time, but Greater than the love for these Was the strong little grin One man offered another Saying, You lucky. You got you A big, fine ______________. Hard to imagine so many men Waiting on each other to be Recognized, every crooked Tooth in our naming mouths Ready like the syllables Of a very short sentence, all Of us crying mine, like babies who Grab for what must be beautiful Since someone else saw it.
