SPINNING WHEEL
A poet friend from Scotland tells another to
Meet me in Vermont when she arrives
In our town we live for months & months
Both unknown to one another
Then a poet from North Carolina
Visits to read in town
He is friendly and speaks of
Poets he knows hereabouts
My name comes up
He nods my way
Unknown to me the woman from
Scotland is in the audience
This is how we meet
