gerard greene i have studied a few times the marble-head which was chiseled for me - a boat with an unfurled sail at rest in the miami river in fantasy it pictures not my life but my destination. for love was offered me but i unfastened the ring from my nose sorrow knocked at my door but the knob fell into my hand. ambition called to me but i still had river water in my ears . success welcomed me but the mat was slippery with kelp. yet all the while i only hungered for an endless meal ticket in life. and now i know that we must furl that unfurled sail. and catch some kind of air to thrust me forward into the cool beyond. but life without gas is the torture of restless and vague desire for gaseousness. it ~s the boat longing for catch but still afloat on the great miami . so\)n i will go, sailing and seasicking through the polluted waters of life . A hitherto unpublished work of Freeman Frod, poet laureate of Senior D, was recited by the poet at the class's annual poetry read ing and dandel ion chain making festival held th is year on May 12. 207
