. Though calmly Now innocuously Passing To my grave Day by day— Yet still here Even birds A robin cardinal Starlings and three Old ducks Quickly cross To the other side As I walk by . |

Oh Oh John, There must be a problem. I used to have a big old dog that had a milky eye. In this heavily Catholic hood, people used to cross themselves for protection from the evil eye. My dog didn't worry about it, and neither did I. Bobby |

John, I just wanted to let you know I still read you--I love your work. And this one? Well, I thought I detected some amusement in the solitary moment. Well, maybe bemusement? I do enjoy the glimpses you give us though, so very much.  (great title, too) |

It wasn't personal - we just did it out of precaution, knowing the general characteristics of humans. However, now that we know it is you, we will stay on the same side next time and greet you with friendly twitters and quacks. - A robin, a cardinal, some starlings and three old ducks |
