#101
A bald little man, / he reminded me / of a baby bird.
#102
Fudge, / a portly little man / in a long, pinstriped cloak, / looked cold and exhausted.
#103
From every hill slope / came the trickle of running water, / the music of unseen fountains.
#104
The dawn came quickly now, / a wash, a glow, a lightness, and then an explosion of fire, / as the sun arose out of the Gulf.
#105
A short, round boy of seven, / he took little interest in troublesome things, / preferring to remain on good terms / with everyone.
#106
The guidepost of her ancestors, / the North Star would soon be visible and would point the way / when the birds had all gone South.
#107
In the locker room, / I packed for the trip to New Orleans, / the road-trip that would change my life and destiny / as an athlete forever.
#108
When it was quite late, / he murmured something, / went to a closet, / and drew forth an evil weapon, / a long yellowish tube ending in bellows and a trigger.
#109
In New York, / the most important state in any Presidential race, / and a state where politics were particularly sensitive / to the views of various nationality and minority groups, / Democrats were joyous / and Republicans angry and gloomy.
#110
Beneath the dragon, / under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, / and about him on all sides / stretching away across the unseen floors, / lay countless piles of precious things, /gold wrought and unwrought, / gems and jewels, / and silver red-stained in the ruddy light.
