—September 29, 1973
If he’d been born this day
So the newspapers said
He’d have listened for ideas, not words
He’d have been lighter than air
It was Saturday under Libra
And all the pans were empty
America’s best names
Were Michael and Amy
He’d have been Mike Auden
And how do I know about you?
Asked the troll in a tale
I found myself reading
Alone in a library
While the leaves came down
Death’s butterflies
Planet of the Blind
