“*Poem: Washington D.C. (The District)*
I love it
In this square
of columns and obelisks…
and monuments designed
to align
with constellations:
To symbolize our protection.
Serius. Virgo. Sun.
Washington,
Here where Virginia and Maryland meet, and greet.
Streets and corner-stones laid
In the glorious shapes
of Pentagrams and Christian crosses
And cubes and pyramids,
And the Blazing Star set on a ley line,
And the temple in the eye.
Homes, made
of red-brick, and granite
Stones.
Laus Deo!
Answers
May be somewhere
Off the shores
Of the Potomac;
Where my father
Once baptized me,
And the waters
Of the district
Touched my skin.
And the consciousness of America
Was rebirthed in me.”

“A stroke. Robert has never been kind to his body . . . It is only the carrier of that wonderful mind, after all. A case for the crown. And Robert has cared for that mind like a tiger with her young: he has given up drinking and drugs, kept a strict schedule of sleep. He is good, he is careful. And to steal that--to steal his mind--burglar Life!Like cutting a Rembrandt from its frame.”
