vermont poem (pluviophile)
a birthday in guilford
july eighteen, '22
i turned a quarter century
around eight a.m.it was a monsoon
a warm little
nor'easterout of control
hurrah for this
this hang left, hang right,
sideways slanting precipitationgood company
went up aheadrunning up the
slick green mountaini followed with a pace to match
and soon i was a spectacle
for all of new england to seeand all it cost me was a pair
of miserably drenched skivviesi thanked
the alien clouds
for granting my candled wishhappy day to me
