You don't mind
letting winter
know its place.
The more we see of this
new American government,
the less endearing seems
its vast naïveté, believ-
ing it lucked out with a
jackpot of pure January,
unaware of things a vine
could tell them, of what
folly it is to reverse a
prior grafting in an or-
ganism it defined. They
are children with eras-
ers, against indelible
vitality, attempting to
the very fact of time.
