Before Me Sits Young Pablo Neruda

 

On the paperback cover of Residence on Earth

 

Before me sits pensive Pablo Neruda

His young face resting upon his slender hand

He looks a little to the left of the photographer’s eye

He appears to be thinking great thoughts

 

Or he might be thinking

 

Why am I posing like a high school senior?
