DIGRESSION ON RAINY NIGHT
AT CAMP TIMBERLANE

i want to write
so what do i do?
i sit myself down
at a table lodge
in summercamp,
I put my paper
on top of sheetmusic,
next to a tin
pitcher and an empty
dirty glass.

i am at camp timberlane.
i am here because
i want to write.
i am willing to contribute,
even commit myself
to camp life for
the next seven weeks.
i am serious.
but i am alas
also funny
and a show-off
and a dead serious bore
sometimes forever
