COMING HOME FROM VIET NAM
The teacher whose name I do not know.
Who I thank each day.
50 years in two weeks.
Mid-August, 1968, touching down.
He sees me walk into the room--
takes me into the hall--Mid-
September, 1968. Night class
in acting.
Community college--
This is how you walk.
Bend the knees. Bend the elbows.
Left leg, right arm. Swinging--
Swinging hips, turning!
I'll wait out here. Eyes, man!
Go! Go in now. Go!
