1611

In 1974 it was fashionable to worry,
He recalls for his mother's benefit.
And she says, "Hunger is in stock,
Pan and Wayfarers are on backorder."

But far from art history occurs a kiss.
When he hears the sound, he holds still
Under it, careful of avalanches.
A bookseller mother teaches how to live
As well as a librarian can learn to forgive.
