Thoughts While Walking

Maxwell Bodenheim

A STEEL hush freezes the trees—

It is my mind stretched to stiff lace

And draped on high, wide thoughts.

My soul is a large sapless park,

And people walk on it, as they do on the park before me.

They numb my levelness with dumb feet—

Yet I cannot even hate them.
