IN MEMORY OF DAVY: This is a poem I wrote a million years ago in Breadloaf, Vermont. Davy, my nephew, liked it; and so, I share it with you. God Bless YALE.
Big Fat Man
Way up in that sea of stars
Smiling down on the night
Rocks back and forth in an old wicker chair
as sparks fly down from his Meerschaum pipe
Shooting Star? Firefly? I don't know what I see,
But when I jump and let out a cry, that big fat man just laughs at me.
Breadloaf Vermont 1970
