Apples are the best of fruits...


Apples are the best of fruits
Never do they let you down
Mackintosh and Granny Smith
Cortland, Baldwin, Crab, and Rome.

Then we've got Delicious, too --
(Don't forget the cool Macoun)
Matters not the one you pick:
Every apple takes you home.





There comes a magic with the night...


There comes a magic with the night
That disappears at dawn --
And stays away until the light
Of day is done and gone.

It has to do with whispering --
And stillness in the air --
And candle-fires flickering --
And shadows everywhere.

And who doesn't feel its presence --
And know its traffic well --
Though be it an experience
That none will ever tell.





The editor...


The editor
sits 
at his desk
puts
a sheet of paper in
the typewriter
looks
at the blank page

sighs

picks up
a dictionary
puts on
his spectacles
reads
something

weeps

The editor
thinks
for a long time
then
types
a few words
stops
closes
the dictionary
closes
his 
eyes

sleeps
