from "The Morgantown Suite Poems"

Just had to share this piece out of my latest book, about my daughter's brith, here on her 24th birthday
(sorry if it embarrasses you, Groucho...)

Ten fingers, ten toes (June 9, 1981)
-----------------------------

Ten fingers, ten toes,
And a cute little nose
That she can’t see beyond.
And look! She just yawned.

Amazing the changes,
How the world rearranges,
For ten fingers, ten toes,
And a cute little nose.
