Wise old professors
ask me for the point
I'm getting to
I have loved populations
on pages, voices
tucked in verses
I have loved learning
about assonance and
Rosenblatt, all the spaces
between reader and text
The point I'm getting
to is I love the way
my son crawls off a page
into reality, how he squirms
with actual delight
Escape into my fiction
is delightful
but the real sounds echoing
around me are the true
gist of my creative life.
