Show Me Who You Read - Poem

Show Me Who You Read

 

Show me who you read

 

You love Thoreau’s hut on Walden Pond

You fly with Wendy and Peter to Neverland

You pet Mary Oliver’s marvelous dogs

And tell Yevtushenko not to be so full of himself

 

Show me who you read

 

You stand at an angle with Cavafy

You ask Frankl how he found meaning after all

You gaze into Tolkien’s palantir

And at bedtime say good night to the moon

 

Show me who you read

 

But I already know

 

You read by the light of a dreaming star

And everyone loves the starlight you are
