Holding Hands

Holding Hands


In Greenwich Village you
see a lot of hand holding.
Men holding women’s hands.
Women holding other women’s hands.
Men holding other men’s hands.
Mothers hold children’s hands.
Brothers hold sisters’ hands.
Fathers hold children’s hands.
Nurses hold patients’ hands.
Yes, you see a lot of hand holding
In Greenwich Village.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
