I love the final lines of the first one: <br /><br />It is the burden of life to be many ages<br />without seeing the end of time.<br /><br />I know this feeling so well. :) <br /><br />And the second poem — the vision of the wave of that yawn and what it means, or might mean. I loved it. <br /><br />Thank you for this beauty today!

Yes, it's true. At first, I was so wowed by the poem I thought I'd save it for my students. But, they are young. They haven't been tipped yet. It's really a sweet to save for later. But then, that poem about the yawn spreading like a secret. Wow! What an amazing observation with so much we can see inside that subway car. What humanity. I loved that poem.

I enjoyed both of them, as well as the yawn-like butterfly. I especially enjoyed the Harrison poem and this image: <br />"A chickadee<br />landed on my bare toe, so light<br />she wasn't believable."<br /><br />I have to tell you, when I read Sarah Matthes' poem I yawned.)

Time moves quickly when we hope for a slow passage. I need to really reflect on the thought that time... can tip us upside down!
