Notes About The Poem

After rereading "The Grapes of Wrath" I was struck by the likeness of the stories in  Steinbeck's masterpiece to that of today’s immigrants who only want a better life. Can't you just feel the pain, disappointment, heartache?  

Journeys

“Journeys”

I reread “Grapes of Wrath”

Today,

Then went to El Paso

And stared at the wall.
