Bill Grace

In the crowded places
I like to find a quiet corner
and watch.

We are an interesting species
Hierarchy being only a portion
Of the observational calculus.

It is the young that concern me
The young I will some day leave behind
With their laptops that grant all the world
In the form of screen up windows.

The world on their lap tops
But something, I can not name, is lost -
Has been taken from them.
