When You are Chosen as Poet Laureate
Do you suppose someday you’ll
see your name
In the content pages of an
Oxford book
An Oxford book of verse
for this or that
Among the greats (who will
want your autograph)
Do you suppose someday you’ll
see your name
Across the top of Amazon.com
The poet of the week, the
month, the year
Or, Heaven knows, the poet
of the century
But if not, write anyway -
you’ll hear your name
Whispered among the pages
of Paradise
