HURDLES

stop that lad
he clears
every hurdle
the Logic of the Slide Rule
heaves him over our heads
into the Regions of Rhythm
according to judges of dialectics
his progress is even though modest
with enough left for the future
unless
a CRITIC
trips his poetic feet
marching in line
(fear not
grass will always grow
a verse in the hand
better than two in the bush)
