But poems are more than their subjects. They are, or should be, experiences in themselves. I hope that the poems here, though few and relatively brief, provide the kind of refreshing experiences that some go to the wilderness, and others to the bar, God, or therapy, to seek.</I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Howard Good</div> <bR> <bR> <div> From the Book:</div> <bR> <div> CUSTOMS</div> <bR> <div> The man in green looks at me narrowly</div> <div> as if for an explanation of my name, my age,</div> <div> the half-moons of sweat under my arms. </div> <div> He asks insidious questions - where, how long, </div> <div> why - to which I give approximate answers </div> <div> while my suitcase lies open on the counter </div> <div> and he bends over the common articles inside</div> <div> like a doctor delving into a chest wound </div> <div> to squeeze the small pink ball of my heart.</div> <div> The line behind me grows numerous, </div> <div> unaware, or perhaps just unconcerned, </div> <div> that outside the modern glass terminal, </div> <div> starving dogs prowl the city in packs </div> <div> and the smoke of burning tires persists.</div> <div> The man in green straightens up, nods. </div> <div> This is whatever sign you say it is,</div> <div> whatever year of whatever war.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> DEATH OF THE FROG PRINCE</div> <bR> <div> Forgive me, frog, for what we did</div> <div> long ago with our jackknives </div> <div> behind bunk 6 at Camp Kahagan, </div> <div> so little blood that it seemed like play </div> <div> when we stabbed out your eyes </div> <div> and laughed at your predicament, </div> <div> 11-year-old boys from all over </div> <div> wiping our blades clean on the grass.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Howard Good (B.A., Bard College; M.A., University of Iowa; Ph.D., University of Michigan) is a professor of journalism at SUNY New Paltz and the author of nine books, including <I>Outcasts,</I> <I>The Journalist as Autobiographer</I>, <I>Girl Reporter,</I> <I>The Drunken Journalist,</I> <I>Media Ethics Goes to the Movies</I> (with Michael Dillon), and <I>Educated Guess</I>.
