From the corner of my eye, I see two men talking,
One a little still and the other brisk walking.
I see them explaining the world to each other.
The world is me, to one a wife and to the other, a daughter.
*As a part of NaPoWriMo. #1
*The prompt by NaPoWriMo today was to go to Reb Livingston’s Bibliomancy Oracle and then write a poem based on the quotation that the oracle provides. I got the quotation "Two men are explaining the world to each other from “Two Men” by Rebecca Hazelton". My take on it is a little different from the original poem.
