Good Earth

x

I don’t know the news now

I’m writing

x

I know what I knew

Last night

x

You know

Film at eleven

x

And reading much

Throughout the day

x

And having it

Affect me

x

I filter

And am changed

x

Maybe the filters change

Certainly

x

What settles on the other side

Has changed

x

The other side

Do you let the world

x

Affect you

This way

x

Everything impresses

As parents

x

Imprint

Upon the infants

x

We can only hope

They’re good

x

It’s all good

The process

x

And the people

On which rests

x

The fate of our

Good Earth
