Chapter 29

I am just a feeler sent out ahead maybe to try the earth for new days:I am just a leaf of grass sent up early through the soil to see if the others could live if they followed:I am just a man who sticks his head out at the front door to see for the folks how cold the night is:I am just a migrate due from the south when the spring breaks:I am just a light thrown on a puzzling pathway to give the rest a chance to travel without stumbling too often:I am just that: given a little room, a narrow margin, in which to play this simple part:Willing, when called, when my term is spent, to have my credit cancelled:I, who, borrowing myself, signing for myself, cheerfully pay my note:Why shouldn’t I give all back, and more?

I am just a feeler sent out ahead maybe to try the earth for new days:

I am just a leaf of grass sent up early through the soil to see if the others could live if they followed:

I am just a man who sticks his head out at the front door to see for the folks how cold the night is:

I am just a migrate due from the south when the spring breaks:

I am just a light thrown on a puzzling pathway to give the rest a chance to travel without stumbling too often:

I am just that: given a little room, a narrow margin, in which to play this simple part:

Willing, when called, when my term is spent, to have my credit cancelled:

I, who, borrowing myself, signing for myself, cheerfully pay my note:

Why shouldn’t I give all back, and more?
