A Poem and a Driver



















Driving the Twenty Two


Driving America to America,
Indian, Irish, German,
Spanish and Swedish ghosts
looking over the shoulders
of black and Asian and Latino:

Being a shuttle
gathering all these threads
red and black and gold and brown and white
and weaving them into
this town's fabric -
Ah, who would not smile?

- Birrel Walsh
