Sic Transit

Today is the 9th annual Poem in Your Pocket Day in NYC.

My poem is by Miroslav Holub:

A Helping Hand

We gave a helping hand to grass -
and it turned into corn.
We gave a helping hand to fire -
and it turned into a rocket.
Hesitatingly,
cautiously,
we give a helping hand
to people,
to some people . . .
