Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - RAMROD ROWS How similar they are, tall straight rows of soldiers and corn that grow so fast you can hear them in the night, must step back quickly to keep from being hit by the tears of joy that descend while children become men as we watch them sleeping. Corn shoots climb like Jack on his beanstalk to their certain end, tassels waving in the wind like celebrities' handkerchiefs under the noses of starstruck admirers, hiding so much sweetness in their budding kernels they begin a descent to tasteless in the instant of picking, stalks suddenly shorn and stacked in shocks only if someone notices their loneliness and binds them for company. Young menno more sophisticated than puppies growfrom baby to manhood long before experiencemakes them mature, the methods of war instilled as they stand ramrod, no tassels here, only flags waving and feet marching 'hut, two, three, four,' jab and pull, aim and shoot, fall and die, human stalks to turn brown, dry up, and become fodder.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The house is quiet at 3 AM, no creakingno sound except for the small bellsthat always ring in my ear. It is as thoughthe house and kitchenand floor and chairare there only as a cocoonfor my thinking.An old man's thoughts do notlack consistency.As man for eons has seen himself the keeperso do Istill take on the role of provider and protector.The poems in Thinking at 3 AM are tender, poignant, and frank expressions of the emotions of aging and the last phases of life. They also deal with the continuing love of a long and successful marriage, with serious illness that led to a near-death experience, with commitment to family, children, and grandchildren, as well as with diverse topics that always seem to express themselves in a poet's mind and pen.In contrast to the poems about aging, one long autobiographical poem describes the poet's childhood and young adulthood, and contains stories and incidents one hopes one's heirs will know and remember.

There is a knowing that resides in each of them, inviting the reader along for the ride on the poet's life journey.…
