The Gap

Posted by: chericem | October 10, 2003 |

To a child
Sprinkled exposure
Seems infinite, completeYet at the piece
So “large”–so small!
An adult chuckles silently

‘Tis nothing more
Than crumbs to him
Having from larger tables supped

Yet for the child,
So innocent,
A crumb’s more than enough!

(Cherice Montgomery, Fall 1989)
