What does not change / is the will to change
He woke, fully clothed, in his bed. He
remembered only one thing, the birds, how
when he came in, he had gone around the rooms
and got them back in their cage, the green one first,
she with the bad leg, and then the blue,
the one they had hoped was a male

The Circus by Kenneth Koch

I remember when I wrote The Circus
I was living in Paris, or rather we were living in Paris
Janice, Frank was alive, the Whitney Museum
Was still on 8th Street, or was it still something else?
Fernand Léger lived in our building
Well it wasn’t really our building it was the building we lived in
Next to a Grand Guignol troupe who made a lot of noise
So that one day I yelled through a hole in the wall

But as it were an after dinner sleep
Dreaming of both. Here I am, an old man in a dry month,

A Country Incident by May Sarton
![May Sarton](/storage/poets/resize/500x500_dmjFC1ZJqIOLGtsHqUCsm3JkxezgShMWjnLnR3nw.jpeg)
Absorbed in planting bulbs, that work of hope,
I was startled by a loud human voice,
“Do go on working while I talk. Don’t stop!”
And I was caught upon the difficult choice—
To yield the last half hour of precious light,
Or to stay on my knees, absurd and rude;
I willed her to be gone with all my might,
This kindly neighbor who destroyed a mood;

to manage the swimming?

revealed. I,

Oh chimes set high on the sunny tower
Ring on, ring on unendingly,
Make all the hours a single hour,
For when the dusk begins to flower,
The man I love will come to me! ...
But no, go slowly as you will,
I should not bid you hasten so,

from The Laurel Tree by Louis Simpson
![Louis Simpson](/storage/poets/resize/500x500_sMSQnjdhIICoeyS6S9ikKQPE5Q2Ms0wIdwhY02Zr.jpeg)
In the clear light that confuses everything
Only you, dark laurel,
Shadow my house,
Lifting your arms in the anguish
Of nature at the stake.
And at night, quivering with tears,
You are like the tree called Tasso’s.
Crippled, and hooped with iron,

Shadow my house,
Lifting your arms in the anguish
Of nature at the stake.

All the way north on the train the sun
followed me followed me without moving
still the sun of that other morning
when we had gone over Come on over
men at the screen door said to my father
You have to see this it’s an ape bring
the little boy bring the boy along
so he brought me along to the field
