“. . . dreaming out the window eat my gruel / as ailanthus trees bud & grow thick green, seaweed in rainy Atlantis, / lose leaves after snowfall, sit bare branched in January’s rusty winds? / Snap photographs focus’d on the clothesline, courtyard chimneypots a block away?” See “May Days 1988,” _Cosmopolitan Greetings_ book. Here new buds of May, raindrops on the clothesline, the picture taken four days after poem was written — Lower East Side N.Y. May 7, 1988.
