I in completing
this poem
hope at least
to outlive the journey
from a notebook page
to the freedom of
one fair copy to be handed
to a friend and then
to other friends
one of whom may
see to it that
these words are
copied or left about so that
some person who knows nothing of
me who wrote them
may notice and
take the poem as a
delight or disturbance.
May it enlist or
puzzle readers enough so
that by undertaking its traffic
they may speak its language to
multiply its effect
and by voicing both
deliver me to you.
