If You Find No Poem by michael johnson
If you find
no poem on your doorstep in the morning, no paper, no knock on your door, & your life is poorly edited but no broken dashes or injured meter & you don't wear white dresses late in life embroidered with violet flowers on the collar; nor do you have burials daily across main street, & no one whispers in your ear, Emily Dickinson- you feel alone- but not reclusive- the sand lady still sleeping in your eyes- wiping your tears away- if you find no poem on your doorstep- you know you're not from New England.
