Estival at St. Elizabeth's



Hearing the crickets,

The old walker said,

Is the sign

Of a grown man's sanity.


Today

I heard the crickets loud and sweet,

Deet-Deetle-Leet-Deetle-Leety.


But what about yesterday?

You're quick to ask,

What about yesterday's diction?


Ah, my dear, haven't you learned?

A poem is yesterday's fiction.

Deet-Deetle-Leet-Deetle-Leety.
