Progress
Hear the author read this poem (in RealAudio)
Battling cascading
steam, my ancient
neighbor would face
his fogged mirror,
cutthroat razor
mowing down, up,
piratical blade
making every
stroke a page torn
from a life story
told the hard way,
because "Someone,
by God, has to keep
the old skills alive."
Leonard Cochran is a Dominican priest now retired from the English faculty of Providence College.
