    Spoon River

    Theodore the Poet

    "As a young boy, Theodore, you sat for long hours
    on the shore of the tubird Spoon,
    With deep-set eyes staring at
    the door of the crawfish's burrow,
    Waiting for him to appear.
    First his waving antennae, like straws of hay
    Then his body, colored like soapstone
    Gemmed with eyes of jet.
    And you wondered in a trance of thought
    what he knew, what he desired,
    and why he lived at all.
    But later your vision watched for men and women,
    Hiding in burrows of fate among great cities,
    Looking for the souls of them to come out
    So that you could see why they lived and for what,
    And why they kept crawling so busily
    along the sandy way where water fails
    as summer wanes."

    (From Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology)
