PERSONAGE
The more I learn, the
less I want to know.
These truths are all
self-evident, maimed,
broken, cantilevered,
sundered, and aglow.
-
The wooden-bridge
water-wheel shed-canoe
house-watchman tower
toll box has crumbled
away to nothing, and
everything has fallen
into the canal.
-
A few black-men yet insist
on fishing for catfish. Late
at night there is a lantern
on in the window of the
old high-house in the field.
Mystery? No one has lived
there for years.
