It is the law:
seasons, best selling books and empires
come and go.
Babies are born to die,
bridges are built to one day fall
and shoes wear out.

Bring with you your anger on Saturday Nights
And your beautiful children,
their great eyes full of wonder
that hunger for your learning
I understand, young man, with your outraged confusion
that smolders upon corners.
– Kent Foreman, “Para Los Latinos (and Frederico Garcia Lorca)”
Watch Kent Foreman discuss and read his poem, “Epiphany:”
No Title
No Description
…Aw, baby, look!
This life is not no legend, David.
Underdogs is buried everyday.
Only fairy tales are filled with giant killers.
Man, let Goliath sleep. Or there’ll be hell to pay.
– Kent Foreman, “From Jonathan to David”
