A Poem For Today - Man and Boy

[Ken Dickinson]

From our very own Marvin

Man and Boy

He was wearing a white shirt

sleeves rolled up to the elbows

just enough to tell the world

this was not hard work

sitting in a rowboat

dipping the oars

into the still lake

into the August afternoon...

where had he learned that...

that circular motion with the wrists

dipping....lifting

the boat cutting smoothly

through the water's brightness..

I waited for the bump

the boat would make

drifting towards the dock..

I was seven:   

"here, take the rope" he said

then showed me how to make

a sailor's knot.
