GRAND PRE

                           for Jack Sears


                           Standing beside
                           the statue
                           of Evangeline
                           I get
                           the meaning
                           of Expulsion,
                           without Websters
                           or the instant ease
                           of Google
                           I simply 
                           placed my hand
                           on her foot
                           and felt
                           the overwhelming history
                           there.
