VISITING GRAVES
Two places local I often go -
just to clear out my head - are
the graves of two fellows I'd still
like to know, even though both
of them are dead.
-
Allen Ginsberg and
Stephen Crane lie not
too far apart - perhaps
three miles at most, but
most likely closer than that.
-
Both are in small family plots -
an odd arrangement I always
thought - two fellows so separate
and different, in death put in
with the lot. If eternity can
be the same as forever,
a wide and unending shore,
at least they're in with the others,
they'll never be alone any more.
