  8. The Three Oddest Words When I pronounce the word Future,the first syllable already belongs to the past.When I pronounce the word Silence,I destroy it.When I pronounce the word Nothing,I make something no non-being can hold.

  9. Some People Like Poetry Some people--that is not everybodyNot even the majority but the minority.Not counting the schools where one must,and the poets themselves,there will be perhaps two in a thousand. Like--but we also like chicken noodle soup,we like compliments and the color blue,we like our old scarves,we like to have our own way,we like to pet dogs. Poetry--but what is poetry.More than one flimsy answerhas been given to that question.And I don't know, and don't know, and Icling to it as to a life line.

Circus Animals Bears are tapping their paws to the beat,a lion jumps through a flaming hoop,a monkey in a yellow tunic rides a bicycle,the whip cracks and the music sounds,the whip cracks and animals roll their eyes,an elephant carries around a pitcher on his head,dogs are dancing with carefully measured steps. I'm very much ashamed, I --a human A horrible time was had that day:boisterous applause was not lacking,though an arm longer by the length of a whipcast a sharp shadow on the sand.
