A little something from Grace Paley. May well be the only poem of hers I really like.
Before I was nobody I was me after I was nobody I was me I wish I could have rested in me a little longer there was something I was supposed to tell but it isn’t allowed
That’s the format the book has it in, so that must be the way she designed it.
Mostly a nobody. Myself not long enough. Nobody and myself at the same time: nobody to humans, myself the mommy and friend to the animals.
To have rested in me a little longer.
