Emily Is Sincere
Emily, has other fish to fry, nights, winds,
There are days when the earth shakes in Italy,
Where people lose their homes, their children,
Days when poetry doesn’t really exist anymore,
Then no one thinks of Emily and her poems,
Yet Emily has always told the truth, I believe,
She wrote that the clouds were mean,
No doubt they were, Emily never lied, I think,
If Emily brought an elephant into her house,
She’ll write a poem and I’ll read it.
