SOME  PARTICULARS

Sometimes some poems make 
some particulars seem so particular: 
like poinsettias in a poem by John Shea;
like The Fish  in a poem by Elizabeth Bishop;
like trampolines in a poem by Denise Levertov;
like “The Red Wheelbarrow” or the plums 
that were in the ice box that were so delicious
in a poem by William Carlos Williams; 
and then you walk into the kitchen.

reciting his poem, "This is Just to Say ...."
