From The United States of Poetry episode "The Land and the People."

Copyright Washington Square Arts, 1995.

I have lived in this city
25 years
and all that time
I have dropped things.
I've dropped
tissues,
letters from women
in Santa Fe, N.M.,
money,
the keys to my house,
books by
Jacques Prevert.
And all this time,
you,
the people of this
city, have pointed
to me, and said,
"Hey!" "Sir!" "You!
You dropped something!"
and then I've picked it up.
You have watched
over me all these
years,
and I've waited till
now to thank you.

  • Cool poet, I sent my poetry out years and years ago and received some poems back from sparrow. Excellent series, I have met several poets from it. Support pbs. Thanks.
