I knew a poet who would make

a couple hundred copies of a poem

and stick them in a pouch,

like a mailman

who wrote all the mail himself.

Saturday mornings

he would walk Commonwealth Avenue

from the Public Gardens

all the way to Kenmore Square

smile at everyone he met,

and offer each a poem.

Most people accepted them.

At Kenmore he would turn

and start back Commonwealth,

conscientious to retrace

the same side of that

gracious boulevard,

and he would reclaim his poems

from the sidewalks and the gutters

where they’d been discarded,

and he would stuff the pieces

back into his pouch.
