"A Song of Berea, Kentucky" by David Harrison Horton



The washing machine made noises

as it spun its cycles.

This added life

to the quiet house.


Any guitarist with a soft shell case

does not tour much.

The luggage carousels at airports

eat guitars.


Choi Seung-ja gave little room to sentiment;

she was all business.


The prom committee broke down

over the color

of ribbons.

Rainbows, they decided, were not appropriate.
