January Poems, No. 19


JANUARY POEMS, NO. 19

In a small German,
White sausage town,
A man wearing a forlorn hat
Plays a hurdy-gurdy.

He plays the hurdy-gurdy
Because he is hungry.
If he was offered food,
He would refuse.

If he were not hungry,
He could not play the hurdy-gurdy.


Duane Locke

hunger taught him to play the hurdy-gurdy
