Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

A radio show crackling in the car
talking about specimen days
days to remember, to treasure
But they have it wrong
have you seen the flash of a firefly
the flicker of a face in a flame
a tear course down her face
smile at a knock-knock joke
perfected by her four-year old tongue
It is the fleeting instant
that is to be saved and treasured

based on discussion on the Diane Reem show of 6/8/05 at 11:42am, about the book, “Specimen Days”, by Michael Cunningham.
