The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for March
Two poems
i.
greeted by an
ancient acquaintance
warmed by friends
reminders
all

infinite and singular
and life's
connections are
as permanent
as
the morning glow
of spring
which radiates
all
year
through the
obituary winter
circling in heaven
(and at dawn
ii.
the white woman on the
subway watches the black
girl write out her
homework
slouching against
the passage door
almost asleep
the
white woman's black
eyeglass rims
unabashed
she stares down at the
page
