John Steinbeck (1902-1968)



Ohio needs the Fall
and I wake up
suddenly the siamese mao of
it all
the black cat
doorstep
reminding me to pump
3 bucks
worth of nickels
into the flat tire
of a grand prix -
pack a smokes
under the tuliptree
reminding me
that the United States
needs
    - poetry
I'm the President
of Poverty
under the shade
    of this here
                        tulip tree
